The 1935 novel that predicted the rise of Donald Trump

Sinclair Lewis’s It Can’t Happen Here features an antihero who whips up support among angry voters on the back of firebrand rhetoric, fearmongering populism and anti-Mexican sentiment. Sound familiar?

Oh cool. Just an entire football team potentially carrying mumps into a college town in another state. Thank for that! 🤦‍♀️

News headline reading: OSU football players offered MMR boosters as visiting Aztecs deal with mumps outbreak

News headline: SDSU arrives at Reser Stadium battered, shorthanded, and outmatched

Paragraph from article about SDSU arriving in Corvallis, OR on October 9, 2026. Article dated same day.
“The mumps outbreak that has impacted the team for nearly four weeks doesn’t appear to have gotten worse, but it could still be problematic this week and for weeks to come. The tight ends’ room has been most impacted by illness and injury.”
