We’ve reached a level of dystopia that I’m not sure even Margaret Atwood could have imagined

Rightwing protesters in handmaid’s costumes are taking gaslighting to a new level The shapeless scarlet cloaks and oversized white bonnets have become a familiar sight at protests around the world. From pro-choice demonstrations in Belfast to women’s rights marches in Buenos Aires, the clothes worn by Margaret Atwood’s handmaids in her dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale have become a striking symbol of female defiance.

ArwaM No.

ArwaM Ha! No they don't. The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

ArwaM Yeah, but do you not see the irony in the fact that you are against it? You calling one side pro-controlling women or Pro-death, doesnt make you any less of a fetus murderer or Pro-Death yourself. You have the right to do what you want, why cant they? Cope harder with narrative.

Not all are Trump supporters, propaganda much?

Charles66603622 They are too brainwashed to get it!!

ArwaM a href='----- Message truncated -----

ArwaM 'Male-perpetrated violence underpins Canadian society and is by no means “senseless” — instead, it serves to reinforce patriarchy and male social domination. The mass shooting in Nova Scotia reportedly began with domestic abuse incident against a woman.'

ArwaM Excellent article...

Haha! 😆Of course not - his followers are not the brightest of Americans! 🤪😏🤓

Actually, from first hand knowledge, they are paid crowd-strike democratic morons. So stick that up your papers arse and Light it. POTUS crowdfunding WWG1WGA InstantInfluencer InItTogether

Not just trump supporters. People who lost jobs. Well paid snobs at guardian auto write vitriol against people in unenviable situation and Trump. What will happen once this doofus is gone? Maybe you ll be joining the queue at the foodbank

.They’re not being ironic - they’re engaged in Handmaid’s Tale Cosplay.

Lol guardian mad online

They can't spell irony.

Fake news 'arwa mahwadi' they are not all wearing these, you are just cherry picking to make them look stupid... And it seems like everyone replying is falling for it and believes you... Shows how Leftist sheep don't think for themselves

You just couldn’t make this up.

🤪🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣

I hope they do not see the irony, because neither do I. That would make me thick as a trumpet 🎺 And I really don't think I could handle that on top of a pandemic.

One protester

No, no they don't

Theres s lot they don't understand

What if they're doing it because it's ironic?

They don't know what irony is, like many Americans

ArwaM So telling that the most of the pro-reopen protesters either stay in their cars or wear masks -- unwilling to take a chance on their *own* health, but screw everyone else ...

Radical feminists wore the same outfits in protests after Hillary lost. The Guardian didn't squeak

Lol. If we ever end up in some sort of Gilead, it'll be of the mad left's making.

No, too dumb!

'Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?' Jer. 8:22 (KJV). This story is funny, ironic and dystopian on multiple levels: 45ers clap back at left, Pence angle, Gilead Sci., Inc. & Covid-19. Deep.

Imo: intentional clap back at the political left by Muhrican 45ers. I support great shtick from either side. This story: current leader in the clubhouse for funniest entry on Twitter, today.

Can you imagine trying to explain irony to one? My head hurts just imagining it

Can they even define irony? Baby steps.

Stupid does not know irony.

There is no irony. They want to be subjugated. That's how dumb they are.

Likely intentional clap back at those on the left of the political spectrum by far right, Muhrican, 45ers. Imo this story is belly laugh-funny on 2 levels. I support great shtick from either side.💯

'NO, THEY ARE COPYING OUR IDIOCY!'

They think it’s a new reality show

Handmaid

No they do not. Same as when they waive swastikas.

Neocons do not understand how to process irony. That's why so few standup comedians are conservative and the ones who are (I'm talking to you, Dennis Miller) are woefully unfunny.

Is that a real question? You already said they were trump tards.

Or.... It demonstrates what many of us have assumed - that supposedly alpha male Trumpiots are really just a bunch of self-loathing, trailer park transvestites, who want to be submissive sexual playthings in Gilead 😉

Irony as they think is buying a gun.

Trump supporters are notorious for their lack of self awareness

Reading further down the article... I'm pretty sure 100% of women in the NHS are female... not 75% 🤔

'Sideshow Don' is the proof that a Party can come to the government with the help of a buffoon & electoral committee, but the Rep's dig its own grave because does not get rid of him in time. Now it's too late!

No. They're thick!

What the left never get, or purposefully ignore, is pro-lifers have a very simple principle - human life begins at conception. It has nothing to do with ‘controlling women’. Ideally, women AND men would be responsible so all babies are loved/wanted making abortions obsolete.

You haven’t lost your utter lack of self-awareness, Arwa, and it still charms.

No they don’t see the irony

Can't even go with sarcasm as an excuse!

Adam_Kay1 holy mother of god

Like their Fearless Leader, they have no conception of Irony OR Sarcasm.

These are the people that will shout it's racist to call out racism and overdose on chloroquine & Dettol at the President's command, so yeah this makes perfect sense

Why are they wearing face masks then, if they’re not afraid? Chickens all of them 🤪

Let me see if I understand your question: Do TRUMP SUPPORTERS not understand IRONY? Is-is this what you want to know? Are you seriously just arriving at this train station?

They are being sarcastic! 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️

It's pretty cringe no matter who is doing it.

The Cult45 is soooooo stupid

The public is Hidious nobody likes you either there is nothing there

Of course they don't get irony. They're thick Americans.

Core environmentalist used to buy 2-3 luxurious cars before talking about global warming and likewise radical feminists used to believe justice will be served by naming & shaming the culprits. We all are hypocrats. Believe it or not.

And did you not see the irony when left wing protestors were wearing them at rallies addressed by Linda Sarsour?

I bet they cannot read either

These are democrats pretending to be Republicans. Most likely, antifa!

🤦🏻‍♂️

Do you know what an irony is?

Trump supporters think irony is like goldy and bronzey but made out of iron.

Ok that was stupid but funny. They are trolling you guys. Wake up. If you freak out they win. They are ignorant and feel left behind by society and this is the only way they can get your attention. Ignore them. They just want attention like children.

Your average Trump voter could even spell irony let alone understand it.

The oppressor now feel they are oppressed. 😂😂😂😂

They don’t even know what irony is.

Well, they just don't get it.

Nope. They don’t.

Given that some trump followers did actually drink bleach yesterday, I can only assume they do not.

No man, I have help with the ironing....

They are deficient in the irony gene

No! They think 'irony' is what you do to get the wrinkles out of a shirt. Put the collective brain power of two of them together and their IQ wouldn't add up to a respectable earthquake.

They think irony is something your momma does to your pant-y

It’s not irony. They’re trolling. How can you still not understand the right’s tactics after all this time?

Nope, they never read the book or saw the series, just made assumptions

To mich to ask!

If that wasn’t so tragic it would be hilarious. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

COVIDIOTS ain’t too smart.

Most of Trump’s supporters don’t know the definition of irony.

Drinking the CoolAId

tarareade

Maybe injecting bleach destroys your sense of irony.

Trying to be sarcastic like himself?! They are told to create confusion and chaos?! Total idiots who have no clue and never read a book?!

No. Irony to them is what they do to clothing

Trump supporters think irony is something you’re meant to do to your shirts.......

No. They’re too stupid. Also they should inject themselves with Clorox®️

I do. 😅😎

No they are too ignorant. They wouldn’t know irony if it slapped them in the face!
