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.

The Midwest Trump Rallies have had online views in the 100,00s.With everyone glued to computers all day. These viewers are the silent majority.

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

I've heard the rumor our side is more enthusiastic...

Compare the crowds at Biden and Trump events.

It really makes me concerned about the severity of voter fraud.

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."

Non white victim identity politics is a loud siren call

Viper headed vixens lure them to the shoals of self destruction and dependence which eventually becomes contempt for the host

"Compare the crowds at Biden and Trump events.

Agreed. This should be a Trump landslide, perhaps largest ever.

However...

It's not who votes, it's who counts the votes.

Beth Bauman heard it from someone apparently. At least rumor has it.

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.

Bloomberg is spending millions in Florida to sign up criminals (felons).... since more than 97% of felons are democrats.

Felons might not be the type to show up for Biden rallies OR vote - - but as long as the names are on the rolls, some democrat will figure out a way to vote them.

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.
