How Hitler Happens

It is time to repost an Instapundit Glenn Reynolds quote that isn't new but is evergreen.

The thing is, you don’t get Hitler because of Hitler — there are always potential Hitlers out there. You get Hitler because of Weimar, and you get Weimar because the liberals are too corrupt and incompetent to maintain a liberal polity.

I fear the stench of Weimar is very much on today's wind.
