If elected Trump will bring us the authoritarianism of "1984" with the brutal chaos of "The Lord of the Flies." By Hal Brown, MSW

Rather than make this a treatise on the two novels and how there are elements in each which correspond with what Trump will usher in for the country if he becomes president again I will assume most readers know the themes of "1984" and "The Lord of the Flies." 

I admit that I got the idea for this blog from the AI images that came up when I was looking for illustrations for yesterday's blog about Trump's mosquito episode (here). 

I'll leave it to someone with literary chops to go into depth about how these and other dystopian novels (both of these books are on this list) could foreshadow what a Trump presidency could turn our great democratic experiment into. 

"Project 2025" isn't a novel. It is a "how to book."

 If Trump wins it could stand next to "Mein Kampf" as the most destructive instructional manual of all time.

Consider: "How Mein Kampf Changed the World" by Heather Whipps 

Excerpt:

"Mein Kampf" was a clear-cut warning to the world of Hitler's intentions for war and genocide, which may have been recognized and prevented had more people read it outside of Germany, some historians say. Publishers in the United States and the U.K. did produce copies in English prior to the War, but were held up by copyright lawsuits by Hitler's publishers.
