I prefer the copious amounts of drugs and sex in Aldous Huxley's vision of dystopia.

You never read it?

Definitely a must read. Along with the other standard fair.

Clockwork Orange
Catcher in the Rye
Lord of the Flies
Animal Farm
None Dare Call it a Conspiracy (J/K)
 
Previous administrations have spied on it citizens, collected their information, signed legislation creating a Truth Ministry Lite, used propaganda and lies to pass legislation.


The only reason Trump can do what he does is because people were silent when their chosen one was gathering the power Trump exploits.

Those questioning those power got part of vast political conspiracies,
, racist and sexist.


We all created Trump we are all responsible

Sinclair Lewis wrote a dystopia about a demagogue rising to power in Britain too. It's called It Can't Happen Here (if memory serves me). The similarities to Trump are uncanny.

really? seems to me that pretty much all your contributions are a rehash of the same old tired hyper partisan themes
 
What a great book. I am tempted to read it again, if only to regurge memory. Much younger, I used to look around for where and when to apply 1984. Now, its coming out at me.

Yes, in a time of universal deception, speaking the truth is a radical act.

Another good read, just to get a taste of what a few votes going differently, this way or that, can lead to is Philip Roth's alternative history, "The Plot Against America."
