Book Review: Twilight of Democracy By Anne Applebaum

 


The last thing anyone wants to do is go back to a time that once was...yet this is exactly what we've done in electing (albeit a minority) to the greatest office in the land.

Authoritarianism is nothing new yet we seem surprised to find ourselves in a nation that now rules by force, threats, intimidation, lies, and via use of power to control the masses.

We have placed our own military against our citizens!

I'm not sure what wake up call you need but this book surely is a great start!

As a malignant narcissist survivor I know this is just the tip of the iceberg as the greater danger has yet to be seen.

The notion that this all accumulated not under a third country rule but in these United States is more perplexing as immigration, naturalization, corruption, white nationalist groups, and so much more have been at the center of this discussion with Applebaum.

Greed is at the top of this nightmare and it all comes down to complacency and turning the other cheek rather than creating legislation and bringing charges against those who dare take our nation down this rocky road.

Every day I get up and see DT in the news it's a win for his team. Negative air time for him is still free air time that he desperately needs to keep his leadership and his inner message of hate flowing to his GOP base.

The fact that he will alter our nation with his Supreme Court justices for a lifetime is reason enough for any women to not walk but run to the polls in droves.

Please do your civic duty in voting and have your voices heard!

Thank you to my local library for this hardcover during these strange times.
