Anne Applebaum is a historian and journalist. She is one of the best pro-democracy communicators on the scene today.
Anything she says or writes is worth catching.
She tells Steven Bartlett how Trump has degraded American influence around the world while degrading democracy at home.

The annual 'A Speech to Europe' lecture, part of the #WienerFestwochen, was given by #AnneApplebaum this year.

She stressed that Europe's democratic institutions have been shaped by the ideas of philosophers and sustained by the hard work of generations. Social Medias and AI hosted in Europe and governed by European values can help maintain our independence against actors who seek to undermine them.

Tucker Carlson reaches for credibility?

Has he got Paul Manafort doing reputation laundering for him?

Maybe buy a golf tour like the bone-saw prince?

Or an article gets written about Tucker in The Atlantic? Like Elon Musk.

Viktor Orbán's defeat came thanks to a broad, diverse, and patriotic grassroots movement—and shatters the assumption of inevitability that has pervaded illiberal movements across the globe, Anne Applebaum argues.

Im Atlantic definiert und beschreibt die US-amerikanische Journalistin und Historikerin #AnneApplebaum die politische Kampagne von #ViktorOrban als erste "post-realistische". Sie warnt:

"Pay attention, because this may be the future of electoral politics: Multiple politicians from several countries are shoveling propaganda at an electorate in order to build terror of an enemy that doesn’t exist at all."
