15. If you have the time and inclination

Read “Lost Legacy” by Robert Heinlein.

Although back then, Trump Republicans seemed like an exaggeration out of someone’s evil imagination, Heinlein wrote like he knew that Foxsucking Magats would exist in the not-too-distant future—seemingly rational people acting like they didn’t see what was happening in front of their eyes because it suited their agenda not to.

The story was SO prescient, you’d think someone in 1950 showed him a secret documentary about America between 2016 and 2026, and it disturbed him to the point where he thought up his story to warn us.
