A novel written in the 1930's, "It Can't Happen Here" , by Sinclair Lewis


It Can't Happen Here is a cautionary tale about the fragility of democracy, an alarming, eerily timeless look at how fascism could take hold in America. Written during the Great Depression when America was largely oblivious to Hitler's aggression, it juxtaposes sharp political satire with the chillingly realistic rise of a President who becomes a dictator to save the nation from welfare cheats, rampant promiscuity, crime, and a liberal press.

The satiric novel tells about an American presidential candidate who is very belligerent and bombastic. Irony of all irony: Even though he is clearly a fascist, he hitches a ride from the Republican Party to come to power.


Looks like we are living history once again, thankfully the American people will reject someone like this from becoming president (trump)
 
The Founders didn't give most the vote, on purpose. Regardless, it was always doomed to failure, just a matter of time.

When Liberalism is no longer respected, Fascism is just waiting to pounce.

Maybe you can flee to Saudi Arabia, Guano. It's a nice peaceful Muslim state that doesn't allow Christianity to be practiced openly. You'd fit right in.
