This relates to Trump because a lot of the dystopian treatment of women in the book and TV series was so far-fetched that we thought it could never happen, especially after the decades-long feminist revolution in society, but Trump made some of it happen, here and now, in reality, in real life and women are still being oppressed by his decisions made on their behalf.

I just watched the last episode of The Handmaid's Tale. It appears I am not the only one who gave up on the endless violence and trauma of the middle set of seasons but I decided to watch the last season.

This article refers to parallels in the Trump autocracy.

The Handmaid's Tale is over after six seasons. What was that?

"When The Handmaid's Tale went into production in 2016, Barack Obama was still president of the United States. By the time it began airing, Donald Trump had taken office and the #MeToo movement was picking up momentum."

Spoiler alert: this article outlines the final episode.

The Handmaid's Tale series finale: Will June Osborne finally destroy Gilead? Here's what happens to the key characters

Other spoiler alert: Margaret Atwood wrote a sequel called The Testaments after the series started. That show is in production now.
