I have elsewhere suggested that Trump and Sanders are tuning in to the same sort of dissatisfaction with structure and process.
I have been, for parts of this year, substitute-teaching my synagogue's 8th grade class. The topic has been the Holocaust. We spent a bit of time on the rise of the Nazis, including specific attention to "how could this happen?" We looked at the events leading up to their initial election, the rhetoric and the results. Fairly early on in this process, most of the class said "hey, wait a sec...", so we started talking about the parallels. If *they* can notice and understand this, I'm hoping the rest of the country can too.
