Buzz Windrip

“It Can’t Happen Here” the satirical play aggressively taunts tyrannical dictators and the sleeping public alike. While reading this piece, one must compare the practices of politician Buzz Windrip of our 45th president Donald Trump. The following argument is strengthened by examples in ACT 2 and ACT 3; these scenes are prominent examples of how Buzz uses his charismatic ability and easy access to the mind manipulation to appeal to the masses.

In ACT 2 Scene 2 B.W. opens the scene on November 1st approximately two days before the election. Buzz is guarded by the Minute Men (Citizens trained to defend practicing vigilantism) yet; the attention has transitioned to two men entering the scene.

While PVT Dooley and Bishop

Buzz promised $5,000 to anyone who voted for him ultimately allowing his mass appeal to increase heavily, especially by people who had no interest in voting in him beforehand. Similarly, Trump also makes an outrageous promise. If one can remember “the Wall”, Trump promised if elected to “shield” the border of Mexico which in turn would allow Americans to get all the Jobs the Immigrants “stole” from them.
