"How did our democracy go wrong? This extraordinary document . . . is Applebaum's answer." --Timothy Snyder, author of On Tyranny

A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian explains, with electrifying clarity, why elites in democracies around the world are turning toward nationalism and authoritarianism.

From the United States and Britain to continental Europe and beyond, liberal democracy is under siege, while authoritarianism is on the rise. In Twilight of Democracy, Anne Applebaum, an award-winning historian of Soviet atrocities who was one of the first American journalists to raise an alarm about antidemocratic trends in the West, explains the lure of nationalism and autocracy. In this captivating essay, she contends that political systems with radically simple beliefs are inherently appealing, especially when they benefit the loyal to the exclusion of everyone else.

Despotic leaders do not rule alone; they rely on political allies, bureaucrats, and media figures to pave their way and support their rule. The authoritarian and nationalist parties that have arisen within modern democracies offer new paths to wealth or power for their adherents. Applebaum describes many of the new advocates of illiberalism in countries around the world, showing how they use conspiracy theory, political polarization, social media, and even nostalgia to change their societies.

Elegantly written and urgently argued, Twilight of Democracy is a brilliant dissection of a world-shaking shift and a stirring glimpse of the road back to democratic values.

Great quality!
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
I’m really impressed with this dash cam! The video quality is super clear both during the day and at night — you can see details perfectly. The dual camera captures both the road and the inside of the car, which gives me extra peace of mind. Setup was very easy, and the screen is bright and easy to navigate. The wide-angle lens covers a lot of area, and the loop recording and G-sensor features work flawlessly. Great value for the price — definitely recommend this one!

Spend a little more, this ain't it chief.
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
Cheapest I could find with supposed " solid functionality and features. " You'll be much better off spending 10$ or $20 more to get readable license plates and a dash cam that doesn't break after 2 days. Unit started flashing the forward facing camera image constantly but still displayed the rear camera. Either a bad unit or overall bad engineering. Not worth risking it on another unit for me. Insulation was easy, night vision wasn't very good at all, pretty standard using it, similar to other cheap dash cams with a much shorter life.

Easy set up
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
It’s not great quality, but it does the trick for filming any bad drivers that try to con you in an accident and you need evidence. You get what you pay for, but I feel much more at ease driving with this thing recording.

good camera
Style: Dual Dash Cam Without Card
I'm in love with this camera! I've wanted to put one in my car for a long time for my safety, and I absolutely love this one. It's very easy to install, the setup was simple, and the video quality is excellent; everything looks sharp, both during the day and at night. The camera is small, but you can remove the micro SD card and put it in your computer, and everything looks perfect. I feel much calmer and safer driving knowing that everything is being recorded.
