The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan writes about what is wrong with American politics.
What the American establishment has given us the past 20 years is sex scandals, money scandals, two unwon wars, an economic collapse, an inadequate recovery, and borders we no longer even pretend to control.Maybe you see another interpretation for "Weimar;" it appears to me Noonan just compared Trump to Hitler and, by extension, Bernie Sanders to "Red Rosa" Luxemburg.
The party elites don’t have the power they once had. They’ve been undone by a generation of bad leadership. They’re afraid: A monster just came out of a swamp and is lurching their way.
I don’t know what happens with Mr. Trump, but Trumpism? That’s here now—outlandish candidates backed by indignant, enraptured people who’ve lost their judgment. Congratulations to the leaders of both parties: The past 20 years you’ve taken us far. We’re entering Weimar, baby. The swamp figure is up from the depths.
