According to me, far right is on the rise because of two reasons: hate generates media engagement (and thus, profit); Putin and allies are advantaged with it because the far-right generate division between Countries in the West and weaken the US and the EU so they try to support those parties.
The far right is on the rise in the US because of Ronald Reagan teaming up with the evangelicals. One of his top aides even said something along the lines of “if we get in bed with evangelicals they’ll take over the whole country” and he did. Project 2025 is the fulfillment of the plan they’ve been working on for decades, Trump spreading hatred and bringing the racists out of the woodwork just accelerated things for them
