Those who ridicule the religious scriptures as 'fairy tales' and other such things happen also to overlap greatly with those who think that nonsense such as *The Handmaid's Tale* is essentially prophetic.
For example, that the repeal of Roe v. Wade would bring about Gilead. Or that contraceptives, interracial marriages or something else would be next on the chopping block. The slippery slope isn't a logical fallacy when they make it, apparently. Nothing happened, of course. We're no closer to resembling Gilead now than then.
They either forget that they believed this not too long ago or they're so delusional that they believe that America really is becoming Gilead regardless. Either way, they were wrong. But being wrong doesn't erode their blind faith in Left-liberal ideology, an ideology that ironically exhibits many of the characteristics that they decry when exhibited by cults and religions. If any of them have doubts that this is so, they should pretend to their co-ideologists that they are beginning to doubt some part of this ideology: they will soon realize that they will be ostracized, yes, even when they only pretended to doubt and never truly did. They will swiftly regret ever engaging in this little experiment. They cannot see that this ideology is simply a cult writ large. Their employers, friends, relatives, all those who are in the cult, all of them will stand with the cult before they stand with you, you who merely pretended to doubt.
