Reseña del libro "Elections have Consequences: What if the Socialists win in 2020? (en Inglés)"
Mick and Loretta McReady pick up where they left off in Blair's original "Too Good to be True." But this time, their children and grandchildren play the dominant roles. It's a bitch getting old! Mick and Loretta become increasingly concerned about the direction their state, California, is heading, and nationally, the country isn't doing much better. Politicians in Washington and many potential presidential candidates claim capitalism is a failure, and it's time to embrace socialism. Their son Micah and his wife concur and want a better place to raise their family. So Loretta, with her prior track record of success in real estate, begins investigating properties outside of California.Loretta finds a large cattle ranch near Flagstaff, Arizona, that the family acquires. The property is large enough to allow their son Mikah to build a runway for the aircraft he uses for business purposes. And, it is close to Northern Arizona University, where the grandchildren can work or attend school. As the elections of 2020 approach, there are signs that the country is slipping further to the left. Mick begins talking to his former CIA contacts about fortifying the property. In the early summer of 2020, an assassination attempt is made on the President. He is not killed, but he is disabled. He doesn't resign because he is expected to recover, but not before the election in November. The Vice President will need to represent him during the rest of the campaign. The assassination attempt greatly alarms the McReady family, and Mick actively moves toward fortifying the ranch property. The socialists take control of the Democrat party and win the Presidency, the House, and the Senate in November of 2020. The economy begins to tank as a result of the new administration's socialist policies. Many people in the surrounding area come to the ranch for refuge and protection. A revolution begins when the new President issues an executive order to confiscate guns. Things turn ugly when the authorities appear at the farm to confiscate weapons. Do the socialists eventually bring America the utopian society, or will they bring us another Venezuela? If you have read the previous book, "Too Good to be True," you know Mick likes to discuss history and politics. Mick spends a lot of time with JR, his young grandson, educating him on the history of socialism. It's Blair's way to teach a little history in a way that doesn't bore you to death. This book paints a scenario of what could really happen. You won't be able to put this book down, so please make sure you have plenty of time on your hands.
