I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

I've been filling in holes in my reading list of classic books, and I've focused lately on books that were once well-known but are all but forgotten now. Currently reading Updike's Rabbit, Run, and not only does it fit, it's remarkably good.
