It's November 2024, and Donald Trump has again been elected president. The Durand family creates a nationwide organization of Forum Clubs to fight America's drift into totalitarianism.

Despite their best efforts, they fail to stop Trump and the Russian oligarchs backing him. Their worst fears are realized as he destroys American democracy.

In 2026, Charlie Durand is eighty years old and dying. He closes his eyes and drifts off, but not to the death he expects.

Instead, he awakens in his childhood bedroom, his thirteen-year-old body full of energy and vigor. His mind has returned to 1960, with all his memories intact and enhanced.

Charlie recalls the chaos of his last ten years. He decides he cannot again let a fascist dictator destroy the great American experiment in democracy.

But how is a kid from an obscure family with no money supposed to do that? He again creates a nationwide network of Forum Clubs devoted to solving the nation's many problems. They act as an underlayment to the American political system.

Their efforts encompass income tax reform, prison reform, and renewal of the American Constitution, all while fighting a fascist conspiracy. 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.

" Maybe even now, it is not too late. American Democracy Forever is a novel that examines American culture, values, and religion.

It tells the story of the second life of Charlie Durand. .
