A well researched but ultimately rather lazy article there the author posits "Is Trump really a Nazi?" with the answer "No, not really". There are a few items thrown in about the UK just to keep it looking up to date. In general it is an good article on the political changes in the Weimar Republic but the interesting part is only in he last section where the author discusses the failing in democratic process which lead to the rise of Trump and Farage (Johnson is an opportunist and ultimately irrelevant). Farage should be give much more attention as he is the central character (at least in the press) that dragged British politics further to the right and capitalized on the prejudices of older people who are more motivated to vote that their younger, more liberal or left leaning counterparts. Farage is deeply inspired by what is happening in the US. The changes in UK politics as it moves to a more presidential style still have a long way to play out. UKIP and the Brexit Party probably have a parallel with the Tea Party. In a sense the UK is about 10-15 years behind what is happening in the US. If there is any comparison to be made in what is happening in the UK with history then it should be made with the US. That would provide an interesting guide to how the whole Brexit mess is going to play out.
