Reid claimed that the far-right in America dreams of a \u201ctheocracy\u201d that would force women to leave their jobs and rear children. Per her usual tactics, Reid compared the takeover in Afghanistan to \u201cThe Handmaid\u2019s Tale.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThis is the real-life Handmaid\u2019s Tale.
