Well, here's an illustration from last year: Benjamin Sparks, advisor for ex-congressman Crescent Hardy (R-NV), was outed as having turned his fiancee into a sex slave. And this wasn't just some fun roleplay done in a safe, sane, and consensual way; she says "“Over the last month it escalated into very rough sex where he’d actually hurt me. He back-handed me… and forced himself on me.” I found out about this, and I made a thread about it. Title? Republican advisor made a woman a sex slave. I did not necessarily imply that this was done officially for the Republican party, although, I have to admit that given how brazenly misogynistic the Republican party has become (to the point where The Handmaid's Tale has gained a newfound sense of relevance), I did imply that it was a logical conclusion of their ideology. And still I got some pushback. Not quite as much as you did, but still.
Margaret Atwood has actually come out and said the Hand maids tale is now more relevant than ever.
