Oh dear. Best case scenario, there. In a funk from all the bummer news about the bummer election, and slowly coming to the realization that we're the ones living in the horrifying alternative universe where the 2016 election went all wrong? Somewhere in the Multiverse there's probably an America where the Hillary Clinton transition team is preparing to name the new Secretary of Unicorns and Rainbows, but here we are looking at...well, nobody rightly knows yet. Maybe only four years of really bad government, maybe a shock to our civil institutions they won't recover from for decades. So as a service to you, the Wonkette reader, we'd like to offer some possible guides to navigating whatever form of Trumpocalypse is on the way. Of course, our selections come with a caveat: since these are all novels constructed by talented, intelligent writers, they're bound to make a hell of a lot more sense than anything our next few years of messy reality are likely to serve up. We wouldn't exactly call any of this escapism, but maybe you'll pick up some ideas.
