There are no echos of Wiemar. Anyone claiming there is is a complete historic illiterate and infantile poltical hysteric without the slightest hint of a notion of a wiff of a clue of a fact.
Leftists poltical/media figures are quickly rendering themselves figures of mockery and contempt with these sort of absurd nonsensical hysterics. They fail to realize this sort of chicken little hysteria is going to do irreparable damage to their intellectual credibility going forward.
Agree 100%. It is utter nonsense. The only remote parallel is the emergence of a populist leader. That is it. I have no idea how Trump will perform as President and I defy anyone to present anything like an evidenced based assessment.
An infinitely better historical analogy would be how the US dealt with the economic collapse of the early 30s and what a similar economic meltdown would mean for the role of government and, more importantly, our individual rights. But that would require a much deeper reading of history beyond cartoonish and sophomoric references to the Weimar Republic.
Thank you for your incredible organized words .. I was just screaming and pulling my hair out.
Would leftists rioting in the streets against the result of a free election feel Wiemarish to you?
