I'm still flabbergasted that she and others seriously proclaimed Trump's election would bring about the scenario of the handmaids tale. I guess she should be excused for being ridiculous because of her old age, but I've lost all interest in her work.

To many of us, Trump's election felt like some kind of discontinuity in the timeline - sort of like the train had jumped tracks and now was on a different course.

I wonder if it always feels like that during stressful times, or whether it's a product of multiple worlds being a prominent sci-fi theme.

As for your original point, we've yet to see whether Roe v Wade is overturned, whether the rule of law will prevail, and whether the tide of isolationism, authoritarianism and nationalism will corrode the liberal internationalism that emerged after WW2.
