It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis, a story written in 1935 imagining a strongman U.S. President coming into power with the help of mass media propaganda.

This book was written at his wife's urging and based on her observations as a reporter in fascist Germany/Italy.

Little has apparently changed since 1935, parts of the story feel as if he is telling the true story of 2016-2025 Donald Trump.
