Did you know the author of Dune is said to have read almost as many books as he has written?

Same with Donald Trump. Zero.

Yes, since Frank Herbert was a rabid conservative.

Would've guessed the opposite from the books

Really? The books where space monarchy is see as the natural and obvious form of government to dominate the known universe?
