The 1935 novel that predicted the rise of Donald Trump Sinclair Lewis’s It Can’t Happen Here features an antihero who whips up support among angry voters on the back of firebrand rhetoric, fearmongering populism and anti-Mexican sentiment. Sound familiar?

Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel 'It Can't Happen Here', for which he used real contemporary and historical trends/proclivities in the U.S. to construct the accession of a would-be autocratic populist to power:

Kate Armstrong’s remark about #SinclairLewis reminded me of his vision of a #dystopian #US and a sanctuary #Canada in #ItCan’tHappenHere. I included it in my piece about how Canada figures in #American #dystopias, written in ‘24 but still painfully relevant.

They're all becoming that though and it was long predicted.

From It Can't Happen Here: "...the worst Fascists were they who disowned the word 'Fascism' and preached enslavement to Capitalism under the style of Constitutional and Traditional Native American Liberty." #SinclairLewis

Many writers took issue with these ideas of masculinity. In 1927, #HLMenken (d.1956) ridiculed them in “The American Mercury”. #SinclairLewis (d.1951) lampooned them in “Elmer Gantry”. #ErnestHemingway (d.1961) condemned them in “A Farewell to Arms”.

My oh my, at last I've finished #MainStreet. Story didn't feel out of place, despite being written in the 1920s - very much Real Housewives vibe but set in small towns 🤣. I usually enjoy #SinclairLewis, but this one took more effort (& a lot of bevvies).

Reading a small town americana tale while traversing quaint 🇧🇪 towns feels a bit off. New goal: finish #MainStreet quickly so I can hit up some used bookshops for a new read.

A few years ago I saw the #NobelPrize of #SinclairLewis, the guy who wrote “It Can’t Happen Here.” Turns out, it can.
