Is the greatest threat to democracy the silence of the majority?
Former US national security official Miles Taylor examines the increasing personal and professional risks of speaking out. He argues that the true danger to American democracy lies not with political hard-liners, but with the two-thirds of citizens who remain silent.
Drawing on his personal experience serving within the US government and the repercussions of his public dissent, Taylor explores how the price of opposing mainstream narratives is rising in American public life. He suggests that while political figures often dominate the conversation, the real civic crisis is the growing reluctance of the broader population to voice their concerns.
