The Left tried to say that the Group was based on the group Amy Coney Barret was apart of unfortunately for them Margaret Atwood denied it was. The Republic of Gilead was what the group renamed America. and yes the series The Handmaids Tale is based on the book.

Something along the lines of the Republic of Gilead perhaps?

Point of information, Bill Maher was raised as a Catholic. He did not find out that his mother was Jewish until he was older.

I was taught that when the gender of the person is unknown, you use the masculine pronoun.
Now isn't there a man somewhere you could be making a sandwich for?
However, as you appear unable to attempt that basic function, the book is by Margaret Atwood and is entitled The Handmaid's Tale. It is a dystopian novel wherein what is the New England area of the USA has become a fascist theocracy.
Your ridiculous attempt to patronise is duly noted."It ain't necessarily so

It ain't necessarily so."

I will not quote Larkin because I would get banned, but his poem This Be The Verse is very relevant to so much of the psychological baggage we all carry and given the current state of the planet the last line of the poem is extremely relevant and, perhaps, good advice."It ain't necessarily so

His remarks on Catholicism were the reason I posted my reply. Your link also refers to remarks he made some years ago. I have no idea if he still holds such view. However, I would be the first to agree with you that such attitudes are indeed "Screwball". Unfortunately it remains a fact that a person's upbringing, especially one that is overly religious, may often result in very confused individuals.

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostI seriously doubt that being raised a Catholic while having a Jewish mother explains why he so vehemently despises any and all religion or some of the woo-woo land stuff he does believe or even why he doesn't care how many folks get hurt just so Trump is hurt as well. Some folks are just smug, arrogant jerks and you don't need a deep psychoanalysis to understand it.
His film Religulous is hilarious though, especially that moment with the Democrat Senator Mark Pryor where Pryor makes the most brilliant faux pas concerning intellectual ability and politics in the USA when he notes that "You don't need to pass an IQ test to be in the Senate". Many a true word...."It ain't necessarily so
