I haven't read them myself, but this article talks about the response after Hulu released its first trailer in March. Apparently Donald Trump supporters immediately made the association with his regime themselves, labeling it “leftist propaganda” designed to turn the masses against the new president. They had to be reminded—including by Atwood herself—that the series is based on a three-decade-old novel.

I've definitely noticed that nearly every article talks about how it feels even more timely these days, which is pretty depressing when you think about it!
