"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross." Lewis probably never said exactly that, but he wrote an entire novel exploring the idea.
In this episode, we explore It Can't Happen Here: a 1935 novel about a populist demagogue who wins the American presidency on a platform of traditional values and promises to make the country great again. What follows is a rapid descent into authoritarianism, while ordinary Americans tell themselves it can't be that bad.
Lewis was writing against the complacency of his time. The novel's power is in how ordinary the process looks. Not dramatic coups, but small surrenders. The title is the lie Americans tell themselves.
