Trevor Noah recently highlighted that global threat analysts have declared a Trump Presidency would be worse for the global economy than ISIS. I've tried to point this out (among many, many other things) to family members who have supported Trump (and promptly become dead-to-me) and they completely ignored and it and said "it wasn't a legitimate source." To which I want to ask what their definition of "legitimate source" was... but I live in a red state so it's all just wasted breath.

I've known that I have a leaning toward dystopian literature, but not quite this much. I don't think I've ever seen a TTT where I wanted to read EVERY book on the list, lol! And the tie to modern times... it's so scary and unreal. People write this art to warn us about the possibilities of life, and we still allow life to imitate.

Seriously though the only Wyndham I knew was Day of the Triffids, which freaked me out as a kid but when I saw it recently it was kinda tame. :) And Children of Men- saw (part of) that movie but not enough that it made sense- heard it's really good though. <br /><br />As for refugees, I got a kick out of that Nova Scotia ad a few weeks ago about Americans being welcome there if Trump is elected.

I was at a rally for Bernie Sanders on Sunday afternoon, and one of the organizers started talking about how this is our one chance to get Bernie elected. I literally had tears in my eyes. It's so true! I am terrified about this election. I need to watch that clip you linked because I also think it has to do with ignorant, uneducated people, but maybe I'm wrong. I'll share with my husband tonight too. He is a HUGE Sanders fan. He's been preaching to anyone who will listen about him since he announced his candidacy. We will be knocking on doors or making calls next week. We live in Wisconsin and our primary is 4/5. Dystopian is SO real.
