Robert Heinlein’s nightmare vision. The US elects a dictator in 2016.

Almost five years ago in 2015, I posted a warning about Robert A Heinlein ’s nightmare vision, how the US elected a dictator in 2016. It now looks as if that nightmare may be about to come to pass.
You'll find it on the Goodreads blog here
If you haven't read Revolt in 2100, you should get a copy of the book and head the warning. Although Heinlein was just starting out as a writer when he wrote the first version, the events seem closer to what is happening than Margaret Atwood's scenario in Handmaid's Tale. If enough people buy the book then the warning will perhaps get attention from the media and social media.

A couple of quotes

As the battle over the US Supreme Court looms, Heinlein wrote:

"It is truism that any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so..."

And for KKK linked militias in the coming election

"Blood at the polls and blood in the streets, but [Heinlein's religious dictator Nehemiah] Scudder won the election. The next election was never held.”

Science fiction author David Brin posted a similar warning on his blog in 2017. It isn't in his Goodreads blog so here is the link to the original
