> The weihmaher republik was a pretty good democracy back in the day.
No it wasn't. It had armed gangs, both right and left-wing, fighting in the streets, completely failed monetary policy and sky-high level of corruption. The republic just started to kind of getting back to normal for a few years at the end of 1920s, and then was wrecked with Great Depression.

There are a lot of parallels between Weimar Germany and the current state of the USA. More than anyone should feel comfortable with.
