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.

(downvotes incoming in 3...2...1....)

Where did she say that?

>>astura+a84
I learned about it from her Twitter account, not sure if she talked about it elsewhere.

Edit: it is also right on top of the article - "her long-awaited sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale, was released, and she became something else entirely: a worldwide cultural phenomenon. The novel, set in a not-so-distant United States where fundamentalist fascists have gained power and stripped away women’s rights"

(Although I was referring to her comments before the release of the new book, but the new book confirms it).

I think you just misunderstand the sentence. It describes the setting of the novel.

Yes I know that, but it confirms that it is now a realistic scenario for her. But as I said, my information was from her comments on "Handmaids Tale" demonstrations she made on Twitter, which she made before publishing the novel.

I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding the meaning and purpose of speculative fiction.
