In Sinclair Lewis's novel, "It Can't Happen Here" the fascist dictator Buzz Windrip promises to pay everyone $5,000 if elected. Of course the "uneducated" believe him and overwhelmingly vote for Windrip, but the $5,000 checks never arrive.

Anyone left in the writing community? I'm still querying and need to pump up the numbers!
Agent responded to my query and absolutely loved the sample I sent. She praised a lot of it and gave detailed feedback on what she thinks needs work. But, she said it's a tough sale for memoir bc I don't have many followers. Follow me! Pump up these numbers! #writerslift

"[#Relationships with others] help to shape our thoughts and structure the narrative of ourselves. We are each only one person in the world, but we also harbor the entire world within us" (The #Joy is in the Journey): buff.ly/ABVyuWb by @2heartcore4u #human #ChronicPain

When you become disabled, this is what you can expect: “You just need to try harder” “If it were really that bad you would have help” “If the help is inadequate go to the hospital that’s what they’re there for” What you can’t expect: Actual friggin help.
People vehemently believe that there are safety nets in place if you become disabled. That no matter what, you have all your needs met. If you believe this, you’re in for a rude awakening if you ever become disabled.
