The Last President by Ingersoll Lockwood is a short novella which illustrates the dangers to the United States of electing a populist president on November 3rd … … 1896!
Its descriptions do not match the current political climate, but some may argue that certain parallels have already occurred following the election of 2016. What is certain is that, like in 1896,
extremists on both sides of the political divide will find comfort and support in its analogies. Moderates, again on both sides, will draw more sober lessons.
