Oh, god. Someone needs to make a state map color-coded by Gilead-ness.
Like, Texas is 7 Gileads, Louisiana is 8 Gileads, California and Minnesota are 0's (Minnesota is a Safe State, y'all - if you need one, and can afford to come here, you can get your medical needs met and the State will refuse any information requests).
Ah land of 10000 lakes … and basic human rights.
Near the end of Biden's run, the RNC had moved MN to "battleground state." No Pube has won MN since last century, I think. I don't know how we stand now that Kamala is in the race, but: Minneapolis has a surprisingly large black population. Surprising for someone from PA, I mean. Now, I know you can't automatically assume people are going to vote based on race; and Kamala is going to have to be very careful with a "tough on crime" position, because Minneapolis is where George Floyd was murdered by cops.
But, to paraphrase Thunder in Big Trouble in Little China, " Play your cards right, you live to talk about it... as President!"
It must be something in thuh water ;)
Texas seemed to be absent from the closest actual Gilead map haha but I totally agree based on what ive read and heard coming out of Texas
Idaho and Oklahoma are real bad, despite Texas and Florida getting a lot of press because their governors are noisy about their regressiveness
Holy shit I just now learned the world of The Handmaid’s Tale is the same world Roland came from.
Shots fired, goddamn.
Who's Roland?
Roland of Gilead!
You have forgotten the face of your father.
Geeze, that lands different 40 years later. Would forget it if I could.
I understand it's like, the deepest insult a gunslinger can give or receive, but it's never really made that much sense to me. I'd forget mine if given the choice.
The gunslinger.
Kansas?
