VULGAR DEMAGOGUE

VULGAR DEMAGOGUE

A vain, outlandish, anti-immigrant, fear-mongering demagogue runs for President of the United States -- and wins. Sinclair Lewis's 1935 bestseller is the story of Buzz Windrip, who promises poor, angry voters that he will make America proud and prosperous once more, but takes the country down a far darker path. As the new regime slides into authoritarinanism, newspaper editor Doremus Jessup can't believe it will last -- but is he right? This cautionary tale of liberal complacency in the face of populist tyranny shows it <b><i>can</i></b> happen here.

Book blurb for "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis (1935)

"Vulgar, almost illiterate, a public liar easily detected.. He was an actor of genius"
