The Donald: A Gathering Storm
Category: POLITICS
A book worth revisiting in light of the Trump phenomenon is Sinclair Lewis's It Can't Happen Here, published in 1935.  It demonstrates the fragility of our nation's democracy by having a folksy New Englander gain the White House with vague blandishments, and then usher in a dictatorial regime of suppression, terror and totalitarianism to save the nation from welfare cheats, promiscuity, crime and a liberal press.
