Proof the 'Silent Majority' Really Does Exist

SAGINAW, Mich. – For months we have heard about the "Silent Majority," the idea that the majority of our nation are conservative, law-abiding citizens who support President Trump. These Americans care about issues like jobs and the economy. They support law enforcement, disagree with Black Lives Matter rioters and, by and large, want government to stay out of their lives.

In Central Michigan, the "Silent Majority" is alive and well. The problem, however, is they're silent because they're afraid of being retaliated against.

"They know they can be humiliated and, probably, a little bit afraid of these activists coming in and doing some damage to their house and they don't want to make that statement," a 60-year-old Bay City woman said, referencing Black Lives Matter rioters.

Or they might be busy doing what needs to be done to provide for their families and themselves? And know which way the wind blows and don't really want to engage with dumbasses.

"We have had friends who say if you stand for a particular candidate or political position they will defriend us, no longer talk to us, take us off Facebook. They'll no longer be our friends."

Newsflash. They aren't your friends now. You'd be better off living next to scorpions.

My sister in-law will be voting for the first time and she will be casting a vote for President Trump. I think the law and order issue is very big with her.

Agreed. I’m no coward. At least I think I’m not :-) I might be :-) but I have cut down my trips to Brooklyn and though I have business there I don’t stay outside very long because the BLM marches were getting bigger and uglier.

I will wear a make America great hat in my Staten island neighborhood but I’m not wearing it in the other boroughs. My life isn’t worth a hat and my vote is needed :-)

And George Soros isn’t paying my bills.

I too will be casting my first vote for President. I became a citizen because of Trump.

It’s the grandchildren and great grandkids of the original 1972 silent majority

And there are less of us as a percentage thanks to massive non white immigration

A bear will go out of its way to avoid you and won’t come after you unless sufficiently provoked. You don’t want to provoke a bear.

[RatRipper]

What our immigrant friends, legal and illiegal, need to understand is that a vote for Democrats is a vote to return to the hell-hole they came from . . . lawlessness, corruption and destitution.

[rktman]

Thanks and congrats. Welcome.

The silent majority is real and they don’t live for politics. This is unlike the agitators like the antifa and BLM where politics according to their dogma are all they have in terms of their lives and livelihoods.

[SmokingJoe]

It’s not so much that Trump supporters are afraid of anybody. I am old enough not to worry too much about death.
Its more about not having your entire life disrupted and turned upside down by a BLM/ANTIFA mob showing up outside your door and proceeding to make your life hell.
Look what happened to Mitch and Lindsay Graham last night when the crazies turned up outside their door and proceeded to make sure they never got any sleep. It makes sense to keep your privacy.

God Bless you, thank you and welcome aboard.

[rktman]

Yes it does. Nap of the earth/off the radar.

I don’t do signs....of any kind. Political or otherwise. I figured out a long time ago that Democrats are nuts and it does absolutely no use to argue with them. So I don’t do any politics on social media. I don’t answer telephone numbers I don’t recognize, so no polls would ever get to me. But I drive the 2 blocks to vote every single time. And I’d bet there are millions of me’s all across the U.S.

“a little bit afraid of these activists coming in and doing some damage to their house”

I think they’re more afraid of a government that would punish them for any attempt to protect their livelihoods, their lives and their property.

[Gene Eric]

Yup, Rats are a-holes, and will attempt to destroy your property — your home, your car, your person.

[SMARTY]

I have some relatives who now behave like that to me.

[Seruzawa]

I do too. They use hashish. Any time I want, a phone call will ruin their lives. Yet I’m the stupid one.

[FLT-bird]

I’m just like you in that. No bumper stickers. No signs. I do not talk politics at work unless it’s in private to a friend I know thinks similarly. I don’t answer calls from numbers I don’t recognize. I’m a registered Independent. I will vote straight ticket Republican.
