The only reason it took me a few weeks to read this book was because it was so accurate I had to keep putting it down to recover. 
 American Fascism as described by Lewis is Corpoism, a belief that the state should be run like a corporation, and the fascist leader (and his shady behind-the-scenes right hand man) are fairly elected. 
 I do kind of wish Sissy had been the main character, but all of the women characters are excellently drawn and get their fair due. 
 The book can be funny, although some of the satire stings a bit more right now than it might otherwise have done. I felt real affection for many of the characters, and it was easy to get drawn into this world. Overall I feel It Can't Happen Here is a better match for the current political situation than 1984, if that's why you're reading it. 
 As far as trigger warnings go: (view spoiler)[ Obviously racism and anti-Semitism are discussed in 1930s terms, but they're soundly condemned by the book. Homophobia is more problematic. There's frank discussion of rape, but none actually happens, and in the last 20% of the book there's a lot of violence, but it's not torture porn. (There's straight-up torture, but it's there to shock and appall you, not titilate.) (hide spoiler)]
