A new age of politics is upon the world — as toppled leaders lose their grip on power
Did anything happen lately? Let’s see . . .
On Nov. 5, Donald Trump, having risen like a zombie from the political grave and barely survived being well and truly assassinated, decisively defeated Kamala Harris in the US presidential election.
This was more than a loss for the Democrats. It was the overthrow of “our democracy” — a regime that felt so virtuous and scientific that it expected to last forever.
Two days later, the German government collapsed, supposedly over disagreements about the budget but really because the principals couldn’t stand each other.
The German economy is flatlining and, other than quarreling, the political class has no clue what to do about it. Nevertheless, elections will be held early next year.
