After pondering my own question, I fear we did this us.

Why doesn’t this sort of catastrophe ever happen to the saner nations, such as, like, Britain or Germany?

Oh wait, back up one.  It did happen once in Germany.  

OK then, Britain.  Why don’t the Brits ever find themselves in a spot where their two major parties nominate odious characters, then somehow convince themselves only those two parties can ever matter forever and ever amen?  And why did this happen to us?  And can we do anything?
