It can't happen here ? ( Sinclair Lewis )

How can any politically literate LITERATE person in Rhode Island not read this Sunday Providence Journal editorial ( May 17 ) and not be reminded of the All American cast of characters created by our Nobel Prize ( 1930 ) winning novelist Sinclair Lewis -championed by the " conservative " H.L. Mencken ?
Recall Lewis's " Elmer Gantry " and " Babbit " critical of both organized religion and capitalism ? He also wrote a warning about possible fascism in America : " It Can't Happen Here ".
