For what it is worth I think the original series was a reworking of Sinclair Lewis’ “It Can’t Happen Here” which was a novel about fascism coming to America. Now I’m not a big fan of Lewis’ but I think it is entirely possible that just because a story of fascism taking root in America was written long ago does not necessarily mean that it can’t speak to our time when just such a thing is happening . . . otherwise we might as well toss the Huxley and Orwell books. Just my humble opinion though :)
Just to make contact, of course!
