What’s more dangerous than the rise of the far right?

The silence that allows it to grow.

In this episode, host Tina Johnson explores the global surge in far-right ideology — from MAGA politics in the U.S. to the growing power of nationalist parties in Europe, Scandinavia, and even Nepal.

But this isn’t just about loud extremists.

It’s about the quiet voters, the silent supporters, and the normalization of once-fringe ideas.

Tina breaks down:

What true democratic values mean

How the Overton Window is shifting

The rise of Norway’s Progress Party in 2025

And what we must do to bring silence into the light

💡 Key takeaway:

Democracy isn’t guaranteed — and silence isn’t neutral.

It’s time to speak up, stay informed, and protect our freedoms before they disappear.
