Margaret Atwood sues GOP for copyright infringement

TORONTO, ON—Canada's famed dystopian science fiction writer Margaret Atwood told supporters today that she is disappointed that the US Republican Party would risk such an obvious copy of her works.

With the ongoing shedding of American women's rights faster than you can change a tampon, many have noticed the similarities between Trump's presidency and the terror-inducing television hit The Handmaid's Tale. Protesters have even taken to wearing the red cloaks and white blinders of oppression to Capitol Hill, which passes all new clothing restrictions for women.

The similarities are not lost on Atwood, Toronto's own prolific fright queen. "I mean, I'm grateful that they loved the book, but they could have just retweeted me or something," she says.

Atwood is keen to settle early with the global superpower before the American mentality seeps into Canada and she is shackled to the other women above childbearing age, but she has been unable to meet with any member of the GOP as it's now verboten for men and women to meet outside of a marital bed.

"Come on, change it up a little, USA," the diminutive sleep terrorist was overheard saying. "I mean, spooky feminist literature is my thing. You wouldn't see them putting clowns in sewers. Plus it was supposed to be sci-fi. You can't just alter a nation in six months as a fan fiction tribute."

At press time, the writer of Indiana Jones is said to be considering a similar lawsuit for Hobby Lobby, which will probably be thrown out of court as the Hobby Lobby corporation has been granted personhood, which has been revealed to be white and male, ergo impervious to legal chastisement.
