"From his fairy-tale wall to his schoolyard bullying and his flirtation with violent racists, Donald Trump offers America a singular narrative -- a tale of cowards. Fearful people, convinced of our inadequacy, trembling before a world alight with imaginary threats, crave a demagogue. Neither party has ever elevated to this level a more toxic figure, one that calls forth the darkest elements of our national character." -- Chris Ladd, 2016-07-22

One that calls forth the darkest elements of human nature. Watching the whole Trump thing is all too reminiscent of Hitler's rise to power; sadly, Americans don't have a patent on this particular form of idiocy.
And Brexit hit many of the same themes, so it's not just us and Germany, either.
