Emperor’s Children 2025 refers to a hypothetical scenario where the United States has become an authoritarian state by the year 2025, with the Republican Party transformed into a far-right, nationalist organization similar to the Nazis. The term is derived from the novel “The Handmaid’s Tale” by Margaret Atwood, in which the ruling class of the dystopian society is known as the “Sons of Jacob.”
The concept of “Emperor’s Children 2025” has been used to warn of the potential dangers of unchecked political extremism and the erosion of democratic norms. It has also been used to critique the Republican Party’s embrace of Donald Trump and its increasingly authoritarian tendencies.
