Illogical Politics: Empty Chair

The Valley of Socialism: A Trump Derangement Syndrome Novel

This satirical novel illustrates the symptoms of a new mental health issue: Trump Derangement Syndrome.Adam - a self-proclaimed socialist- seeks refuge in the wilderness after the surprising election of Donald Trump. He vows to remain in isolation until Donald Trump is removed from office.

After settling in a beautiful, isolated valley he identifies a series of "injustices" in nature and, applying his deep-seated socialist ideology, Adam devotes all his energy to bringing fairness and equality to the natural world.

Why should some squirrels get more nuts than others? Does affirmative action work in the animal kingdom? Why do salmon have to struggle so hard to reproduce? Why should bigger animals be allowed to eat smaller ones? Can animals be retrained to act in a more socialist way? Is equality possible in the wilderness?

Adam seeks to answer these and other questions by developing systems and strategies to fundamentally transform nature. Try as he might to escape society, Donald Trump continues to live rent-free in his head.
