  Imagine, 20 years for now, fondly remembering Trump compared to some completely psychotic asshole Americans are going to elect at that time.

      I’ve been reading political novels since about 6th Grade.

      There’s never been a fictional US President as bad as the reality of Trump. And I include Lex Luthor from the Superman comics.

        Even Nixon’s head as President of Earth ran a weirdly benign and relatively competent administration as President of Earth. Yes, because Futurama is a comedy, but with all of these fictional Presidents, I think many Americans have (or hopefully had) little concept of just how much of our stability and prosperity actually was due to the government. Fictional accounts of how badly a President can fuck the U.S. just wouldn’t’ve landed as plausible with a general audience.

        Man, I wish we could elect Lex. He was a full-on criminal, but he took care of what was his. I would disagree with his stance on aliens, but I bet he would give us healthcare on a whim.

        Are Superman comics considered political novels?

        There was that Slim Nietzsche guy though.

      No it isn’t. At least Lecter is smart and understands cause and effect.

        He might be less corrupt than Trump too

      I don’t recall Hannibal Lector favoring children, so…

      At least Hannibal had a functioning brain that could maintain coherence.
