It Can Happen Here: A Prehistory of the 2016 Presidential Election was begun in 2011 and completed early the following year. It is the story of a fanatical village mayor, Samuel Parsons, who becomes governor, Vice Presidential candidate, and ultimately President of the United States. Juxtaposed with his story is the story of a small town newspaper editor, Hal Simpson, balancing his family, job, and reputation as he tries to report the news in a fair and unbiased fashion. As the country is pushed into war with Mexico to stem the flow of narcotics and violence into the United States, Parsons comes to resemble a dictator more than a President, and Simpson must decide whether reporting the truth is worth the risk of imprisonment.A story rooted as much in the presidential election of 2012 as that of 2016, It Can Happen Here is a story of ambition and conscience, asking the reader the decide how far freedom can be compromised in order to save it.
