the plot against america

As of this writing I'm only about one hundred pages into the novel that is likely to top many best-of lists this year. Granted, it isn't as funny as the other novels by Roth that I've read (Portnoy's Complaint, Goodbye, Columbus and Ghost Writer), but that's to be expected when you're talking about a faux historical novel that deals with America's ceding to fascism. But I just happened upon a section that'd I'd like to reproduce here, because it does a fine job of explaining how I feel about our current political climate and the "opposition" party.

"It's disgusting. It's worse than disgusting. Slowly but surely, there's nobody in America willing to speak out against Lindbergh's kissing Hitler's behind."
"What about the Democrats?" I asked.
"Son, don't ask me about the Democrats. I'm angry enough as it is." (p. 101)
