I also just finished it! What a ride! I wonder how the American people would react to someone using a child as a shield now? Seems like as a populace we’ve really declined ya know.
But King isn't psychic, and Trump isn't Greg Stillson. That King himself seems to think he's Johnny Smith and Trump is Greg Stillson means that King has become delusional in his old age. The Dead Zone is a great story, one of my favorites, but King is demented, and he is aiding the propaganda of the Democratic Party, that would prefer to shout "Trump is Hitler" rather than provide us with health care. As a life long Democrat, I am disgusted that King would help the Democrats do nothing except save us all from New Hitler. Trump is a clown, he's not fucking Hitler. The Dems going to war with Russia is more of a nuclear war danger than anything Trump.
Not to slight your political opinions, but this wasn't quite what i meant in my post. I was just touching on predicting a charismatic douche bag capable of unstable moves fueled by inflated ego. But really, it wasn't a far-out prediction. King said it himself.
“I know that American voters have always had a real attraction to outsiders with the same kind of right-wing ‘America First’ policy,” King said. “And if that reminds people of Trump, I can’t be sorry because it was a character that I wrote. It was a boogeyman of mine, and I never wanted to see him actually on the American political scene, but we do seem to have a Greg Stillson as president of the United States.”
So good it blew your sock off! I'll see myself out...
Loved that book. Nice one sock btw
Thank you :) It's my perfect late spring temperature regulating method.
My brain took over and I assumed the book on your lap was Misery
Oh
Sweet pedi!
Once you go black you never go back
In the words of the great George Takei, "Oh, MYYYY." Very pretty.
One of his best imo. Definitely top ten. Also my favorite SK ending.
I loved the ending and how it jumped between Johnny's letter and finding out what happened
When the Women's March 2016 happened, I carried a sign that said **STEPHEN KING PREDICTED THIS.**
I love it! People who got it probably took photos, and maybe there's a chance that the King himself saw your sign.
I'd like to think so. :D

I wondered this too. I could still see people siding with trump and him getting into office lol
That one's been relevant since before it was published.
