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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Silent Majority," the idea that the majority of our nation are conservative, law-abiding citizens who support President Trump."

In reality, I don't think we can say a majority of our nation are conservative. Right of center, yes....but not conservative. There is a difference.

"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,"

True. And as if that weren't bad enough, they could also loose their job or their business as well. Or worse yet, their lives. The brown shirt tactics do silence most people....at least in public and thus "silent majority."

Something interesting I saw yesterday, driving through Portsmouth, VA... saw a lot of Trump signs and flags at homes of black residents. Trump has a wellspring of support in the black community. The fact these folks are so open about it is encouraging.

We’re also here in the once-great state of California. A lot of us - terrified of losing our jobs, being shamed, harassed or worse it we admit we support Trump.

Who needs it?

We know if we put a Trump sign in our front yard our homes will be targeted.

We know a Trump bumper sticker will get our cars damaged.

A MAGA hat will get us physically attacked - and then blamed that “we shouldn’t have known better given the ‘current climate.’

I just wish there were more of us.

You know, if she would have joined the Silent Majority instead of being active, they would have passed the Equal Rights Amendment(ERA) and we would have it today.

Protesting picture 1:

Protesting picture 2:

Instead, Phyllis Schlafly stood up and said, "I will NOT be silent", and she won because of it. This formula works. I cannot understand why so many people are so proud of being inactive and uninvolved.

Thank God she wasn't silent. And thankfully, her followers weren't silent either.
