2030.
May 10th, 2010And so the strangest political success story of the early 21st Century had to be the emergence of the Non-liberal Democratic Party, which began the decade as a mere Facebook fan page, but emerged as one of the most potent political and cultural machines ever unleashed upon the American mainstream. After finding little success with a platform that demonized all creative thought as morally dangerous, the movement narrowed its focus to fiction, which its leaders derided as frivolous and anti-intellectual. This anti-fiction movement was perhaps cemented in the psyche of most Americans when party presidential candidate Milton Lefebure shouted “Does Huck Finn tell me how to fix a television set? Can Holden Caulfield make anything with his hands?” Lefebure was elected by a landslide that November, and Amazon.com closed its fiction category just seven months later.
