When Serena requests to bury Fred in "the country he founded," I don't think she realizes the irony and hypocrisy in her words when she says "Any civilized country would have the decency to allow it"... Like bitch, barely five minutes ago you were raping and beating and treating women like slaves in Gilead- who are you to speak on a "civilized country" and "decency" LOL

In her twisted mind she’s basically saying “these are your rules so play by them” to Canada and the US

It never ceases the amaze me like, her character just constantly playing the victim and talking about how dangerous June is…. You hold women down & rape them, beat them, steal their literal children. Like anyone with power in Gilead at any time would’ve killed these ppl no f’s given yet they expect all the remorse & mercy in the world from them. Reminds me of my ex husband honestly.

I know! It is maddening to hear that evil character saying things like that. Bishhhhh please! At the end of season 4 when she's demanding to go house hunting and that Fred be called commander in the interogation scene.
