Spoiler: They’re not silent, and they’re definitely not the majority.
Let’s clear something up right now: the so-called “Silent Majority” isn’t silent, and it sure as hell isn’t a majority. If anything, it’s a loud, angry minority that never shuts up — especially when they’re wrong — and has somehow convinced the rest of the country that it’s the quiet voice of reason. This myth has been the political equivalent of a get-out-of-facts-free card for decades, and it’s time we shredded it.
