American Democracy Forever tells the story of the second life of eighty-year-old Charlie Durand. In 2026, he is dying in a hospital bed. He grieves, not for himself, but for the destruction of American democracy in 2024 by a fascist dictator. He closes his eyes and drifts off, but not to the death he expects. Instead, he awakens in his childhood bedroom. His mind has returned to 1960, and his thirteen-year-old body is full of energy and vigor. All his memories are not only intact, they are enhanced. Charlie remembers the chaos of his last ten years. He decides he cannot let a dictator in his new lifeline destroy the great American experiment in democracy. But how is a kid, from an obscure family with no money, supposed to do that? This is a fictionalized commentary, a way to convey, in a hopefully entertaining way, observations about American society and what could have been done to prevent the advance of fascism in the United States, if only we could “do it all over again.”
