Please disregard my advice w/r/t history.
All the best instances of philosophy, action, environmentalism, and court intrigue take place in the first book.

We're not supposed to like the Golden Path, either. It will be a harsh, unrelenting, and seemingly endless tyranny that will make sure we never vote wrong again.

Edit: Come to think of it, Alia was also a terrible choice. Terrible decision that year.

The Golden Path propels humanity away from the tyranny of the empire and into self-defined existence. Trumps Golden Path will see an end to democracy as we know it.

Although Alia had experience and frankly it was her turn

People will try to argue this, I think, but the first one only. From the second book onward the writing is worse by measures.

I think the second one "Dune Messiah" is fine. FRANK hadn't gone into professor mode and it has a pretty good bookend to the Paul story. After that though, he loses the narrative. Character development takes a back seat to strawmen and strawlesbian warriors expositioning the other character motivations and feelings.

It is by walls alone I block their immigration.

It is by the sweat of mexico that the drugs come 'cross the border, the illegals rape our women, and some I assume are good people.

It is by walls alone I block their immigration.

Actually the Golden Path propels America away from the tyranny of empire and into a better, self-defined existence of America for Americans. We are not the world police anymore. All we need is strong borders and a strong domestic economy

Trump is the Baron and Kushner is his Feyd-Rautha, how is this not obvious to you?

Nah, wouldn't want to confuse the transgendered goons.

I deliberately avoided doing any of the heroes.

But now that you mention it, Bernie Sanders is clearly Thufir Hawat, Mentat of House Atreides

The smartest guy in the room, but in the end, no one listens to him. Terrible grooming.
