* WishFulfillment: Let's not split hairs - Tabankin's books are all about his ideal, doomsday prepper self-insert (or at least his ideal American) defeating or dealing with the mistakes of cartoonishly evil and incompetent caricatures of the same two politicians and their followers.

Ira Tabankin, American novelist.
Born in 1949 and well traveled, Tabankin is a conservative thinker and survival prepper with a strong interest in political and apocalyptic literature. His works are very often dark, about everymen and/or survival preppers swept up by events and forces beyond their control. Happy endings are sparse, as in Tabankin's own words "When the shit hits the fan, most people's stories aren't going to end well.
Tabankin is contemptuous of political correctness.
!!Works by Ira Tabankin include;
* America On Fire
* The Third World War
* ''Literature/TheLastCrusade''
* 2015 The Second American Civil War
* ''Literature/InTheYear2050AmericasReligiousCivilWar''
* 37 Miles
* The Shelter
* By The Light Of The Moon
* The End Of The World As We Might Have Known It
* We Knew They Were Coming
* My Story: A Diary Of The End Of The World
* The Impeachment of Barack Obama (100 Days)
* CALEXIT
* A History Lesson
!! Tropes common in Ira Tabankin's works:
* AcceptableTargets: Known liberal politicians tend to get the short end in Tabankin books. Politicians in general seem eager to nuke the world. Stereotyping of Muslims as fundamentalist terrorists drives the plot of at least two books.
* ApocalypseHow: often nuclear, but firestorms and plague each get a book, with a series each dedicated to alien invasion and a natural cataclysm. Always there are survivors who must struggle to rebuild.
* MiddleEasternTerrorists: "In The Year 2050" begins with the premise that by this point the majority of Americans will be Muslims. Which here, means "terrorists."
* NukeEm: The most common way of ending the world is a three-way nuclear exchange, usually US with Russia.
* RightWingMilitiaFanatic: Sometimes the heroes, sometimes obstacles for the heroes to overcome. Always present.
* TakeThat: Particularly Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, who often appear as villains.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Many books are written as if happening in the coming months to next year, quickly guaranteeing the books [[TimeMarchesOn cannot happen precisely as written.]] Even "In the Year 2050" opens with a detailed future history totally invalidated by the 2016 presidential election.
