kengrIn the past I've mentioned Sinclair Lewis's It can't Happen Here. I'd heard about it but never read it.
The other day I did google search using slightly different phrasing than I had in the past. The first hit was this review.
Farther down, I found the book on Australia's Project Gutenberg site.
It's not the greatest book. But it's readable. And a lot of the parts about how Buzz Windrip got elected seems *awfully familiar in style, if not detail to how the current administration got into office.
After that, it gets rather less likely. On the other hand the reasons the people go along are still familiar.
