These people are serious as a heart attack. They view Orwell's 1984 and Atwood's A Handmaid's Tale as instruction manuals. If you need further evidence of this, see the Prop 8 fight, Michigan's antigay marriage amendment, and the nearly 150 bills/laws attacking women that have popped up all over the country.

These people mean it. Don't underestimate them for a second.
