As the election approaches people keep speaking about the “silent majority”. So who are they? Why are they silent? And who silenced them?
The silent majority are those who are going to vote, and if the vote counts can be trusted, are going to turn some counties, and even some states red. They’re the ones that aren’t gung-ho Trump per say, but they won’t see a continuation of the Obama administration’s globalist agenda under Hillary Clinton. They’re not thrilled with Trump but they see what he represents, potentially the last stand that can be made to take our country back into our own hands and away from soulless tycoons like George Soros, without resorting to force of arms. They are the peaceful protestors of the horrors of the Clinton crime syndicate. Who, by the way, were aided by their puppet public enemies and private friends, the Bushs’.
They are silent because the uproar that can be caused by the name Trump being chalked onto a sidewalk to be washed away by the next rain has made it too much of a headache to attempt rational debate with people who don’t know the first thing about being rational or having a debate, and who resort to violence or shouting down those opposing them. Their silence is self-inflicted because one only has so much patience for being yelled at, and unlike others, they don’t feel resorting to physical violence will do any good…. Not like the people who beat up a homeless black woman just for protecting Trump’s Hollywood star.
They fell silent because to speak the truth openly is now regarded as a social crime. The truth is not always politically correct. The truth is not always (in fact usually never is) welcomed by its hearers. The truth convicts you and calls you to action, it drags you out of your bubble and forces you to wrestle with things that go against your preconceived beliefs. The silent majority became silent because no one was listening. People were either already in agreement with them, or refused to listen and respond as mature adults and resorted to tantrums as a reaction. Silence fell because better to be silent than subject your family or yourself to potential injury, like the food service employee who advocated Trump and received multiple threats when his workplace was discovered. An employee who was a young African-American male… the same demographic that everyone leftist makes media hay out of whenever one is shot by police officers, regardless of whether they were breaking the law or not, but no outrage over the threats made against him for exercising his right to free speech.
Who silenced them? The mainstream media which marginalized them as uneducated blue collar workers and rednecks. The candidate who called them deplorable. The president who told them “you didn’t build that. The globalist cabal which sought to take their freedoms away. The angry social justice warriors that screamed in their faces. The derision and condescension of their democratic friends and neighbors.
But were they really silenced? November 8th will show whether all those who suppressed and derided them will not soon see that the silent majority was never truly silenced, and never will be. To quote President Teddy Roosevelt “I speak softly, but I carry a big stick!” and that stick is the right to vote and hopefully they will clean house with it and restore America to it’s glory of old.
