When government fails to act in the interests of its citizens, it’s their duty to take action. For 20+ years, the United States has seen failure of government through unrestricted illegal immigration, one-sided trade deals, uncontrolled spending, and failed foreign policy.
Predictably this has created a seething anger within the American citizenry. As was their duty, the citizens took action -- at the ballot box. They elected Donald Trump in 2016. President Trump didn’t create the anger, the anger created him.
While he made substantial strides in response to their grievances, his time in office was too short to fully institutionalize the necessary course corrections -- particularly with unprecedented resistance from the Deep State. The grievances of the citizenry remain unresolved.
Unfortunately, avenues of redress have continued to close. Our institutions are no longer providing equal protection, our freedom of expression has been curtailed, and even our vote has been undermined. These factors brought us to our current state -- a level of political tension not seen in generations. Traditional avenues of redress are under attack.
The United States has a heritage of civil protest as a means to effect political change. However, even prior to the Trump era, legacy media has used gaslighting to undermine the protest messages. Tea Party protesters were called racists and domestic terrorists. Trump rally attendees were called white supremacists. Peaceful protests have been called violent uprisings while violent protests (by BLM and Antifa) have been called “mostly peaceful.” The media have effectively used propaganda to crush political expression. They are attempting to impugn the speakers to discredit the message.

I hope people refuse to accept the garbage from leftist government, but I have my doubts.

You’re right…the thing that the author doesn’t mention is the “lockdown state,” which Americans have quietly accepted and which seems like it has already sealed off any possible avenue of resistance.
As long as the biggest issue on people’s minds is whether to have a mask mandate or not, we are going nowhere. The Left loves that the “silent Majority” is so preoccupied with this inconsequential distraction, while they go about deconstructing the very foundations of the American identity.

Is the “silent majority” really a majority anymore?
I read an article yesterday or day before that more than half of millenials think socialism is a good thing.
Fixed.
During the Lindell Cyber Symposium one of the panelists used the phrase, “silenced majority” which I thought was spot on. The cancel culture is gagging free speech a hundred different ways.
When?
I’ll believe it when I hear them.
Unfortunately, you’re right. We need out own Antifa that will threaten their careers, families, businesses, etc. Until then, nothing will change.

I wish it were true that the silent majority would get loud. I see no evidence.
What does that mean anyways? I hear all the time that we need to “stand up”.... that’s another one that is empty talk.
We need leadership and direction to know what to do. Problem is, it is a little late.
What I witnessed over the years is that people didn’t want to hear political talk. I remember even my mom saying “can we talk about something else?”
People did not believe Tyranny was coming. There was no way to convince enough people that it was. They needed to see it up close, and then its too late.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
It’s starting with school board meetings right now. Parents are pissed and rightly so.
The Silent Majority better get loud quickly because as it stands now there will not be a 2022 or 2024 election.
