A 1936 novel by America's first winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature is strikingly prophetic now.
Sinclair Lewis’s novel of 1935, It Can’t Happen Here, was published amid the rise of fascism in Europe. The book is about the political career of fictional Buzz Windrip, who is elected President in 1936, defeating FDR with a campaign promising a return to traditional values, drastic social and economic reforms (he promises every American $5k). Once elected, he becomes a totalitarian tyrant complete with his own paramilitary force called the Minute Men!
Windrip is Lewis’s version of an American Hitler and/or Mussolini. But consider the parallels with the current occupant of the Oval Office. Windrip outlaws dissent (consider the Biden administration’s partnership with big tech to censor opposing opinions). He, Windrip, imprisons his critics just as Biden has jailed anyone present at the Capitol on January 6. Biden has his own Minute Men, the FBI as well a couple of other paramilitary groups in service of his agenda – Antifa and BLM. They are his shock troops that, like Windrip’s thugs, terrorize his opponents, freedom-loving, independent thinking Americans.
Like Biden, Buzz Windrip abrogated the rights of civilians and divided the nation into “administrative sectors” to be managed by federal “Corpo” authorities and enforced by his Minute Men. Pelosi is now installing branches of the Capitol Police throughout the country to seek out perceived threats to members of Congress. The similarities to Lewis’s two-dimensional dictator and the Biden regime are chilling.

The Fence and barbed wire put up around the Capitol.... do we need more SYMBOLISM?
What it will take to overcome this oppression is organized mass non-compliance. Patriots can take cues from Obama, the community organizer.
All politics starts at the local level. Some Small business owners in every community need to start taking leadership to organize all willing businesses to not enforce mask mandates, lockdowns, or vaxx cards. Once a majority do this, enforcement by authorities will be futile.
Until then, protests do little. Civil disobedience, mass non-compliance is the key, and this will happen only when they organize.
