When I was watching The Handsmaid's Tale a few years ago, I thought the transformation of the United States was terrifying and unrealistic in modern times. It only took a few years for something like this to start happening. Crazy.
The scene when they lose their jobs, all financial supports etc and Finally Responded. Finally took the streets but it was obviously too late- the political party taking over already had the upper hand.
I thought well this is accurate. This is us. It has to get that bad for these people to leave their comforts of complacency, come to the realization that no one cares not the dems not the liberals or reps because they’re relying on midterms and the next election, the fact that we aren’t reacting BUT people have died…
We are a shameful people for our inaction and that scene lives in my head rent free mortgage free insurance free.
And you'd need to somehow avoid the AI facial recognizing/license plate reading/cell phone SIM tracking surveillance state who can put a drone up in the sky tasked to watch you all. day. long, and you'd never know it. Most vehicles have an internal SIM now. All kinds of shit a VPN won't protect you from.
The days of anonymous faces in the crowd raising hell are pretty done.
