It Can&#39;t Happen Here is a semi-satirical political novel by Sinclair Lewis published in 1935. It features newspaperman Doremus Jessup struggling against the fascist regime of President Berzelius &quot;Buzz&quot; Windrip, who resembles Gerald B. Winrod, the Kansas evangelist whose far-right views earned him the nickname &quot;The Jayhawk Nazi&quot;. It serves as a warning that political movements akin to Nazism can come to power in countries such as the United States when people blindly support their leaders.<br />&nbsp;
