The Day Democracy Died: A Warning for Our Times

In the wake of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol, it is clear that American democracy is in grave danger. In his new Kindle Single, The Day Democracy Died, acclaimed historian and author Anne Applebaum offers a chilling account of how democracies have collapsed in the past, and how we can avoid a similar fate.

Applebaum begins by examining the fall of the Weimar Republic in Germany in the 1930s. She shows how the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party was made possible by a series of political and economic crises that weakened the German government and made it vulnerable to demagoguery and extremism.

Applebaum then turns her attention to the more recent collapse of democracy in Hungary under Viktor Orbán. Orbán, a former liberal who has since embraced authoritarianism, has systematically dismantled democratic institutions in Hungary and consolidated his own power.

Applebaum's analysis of these two case studies provides a sobering warning for America. She shows how the conditions that led to the collapse of democracy in Germany and Hungary are present in the United States today. America is facing a political and economic crisis, and its democratic institutions are under attack from within and without.

But Applebaum also offers a message of hope. She argues that it is not too late to save American democracy. By understanding the dangers we face, and by taking action to defend our democratic institutions, we can prevent the United States from going the way of Germany and Hungary.

The Day Democracy Died is a must-read for anyone who is concerned about the future of democracy in America. Applebaum's incisive analysis and clear-eyed prose provide a valuable warning about the dangers we face, and a roadmap for how we can avoid them.
