What is silent majority?

For the people that feel like they don’t have a voice, this is the silent majority. For the people who have talent but have fear to express themselves, this is the silent majority. For the people who give up their dreams to make others' dreams come true, this is the silent majority. The silent majority are the essential workers, the people that make the world go round; the silent majority is nameless.

SILENT MAJORITY...

What does "silent majority" mean?

A mass of idiots who pride themselves on being silent and making up a significant portion of the population (never actually more than 50%, or anywhere close). In reality, they are brain-dead cretins afraid of opening their mouths because they know any informed individual can prove them wrong; rather than being open-minded and engaging in debate, they hide from any debating what-so-ever as a way of preserving their stupidity and ignorance. Thus they are "silent" because you won't hear them participating in intellectual discourse but, come election day (or any other major vote), you will see these jackasses show up to cast votes.

The Silent Majority Stands with Trump.

Silent majority - what does it mean?

An oxymoron.

Bub: What is a silent majority?

Loko: An oxymoron

Bub: Oh really, why?

Loko: Think about it. How can a majority be silent? Would that not also imply there is a loud minority? Not strictly speaking, but by definition, a crowd of a thousand people cannot be more silent than a few individuals. Therefore it is an oxymoron.

Bub: So what you are saying is that a silent majority is seemingly silent, but has all the traits of a majority?

Loko: Exactly. However because it's an oxymoron, it is only to be used under specific contexts such as the majority of students attending a zoom lecture that vote on polls but don't ever talk. It has also been used as a misnomer intended to magnify a population group to make it appear bigger than it really is. In the second case, it is the 'majority' part that is meant to elude, while 'silent' implies that there is another group in comparison: the supposedly "loud" group which turns out to be the true majority group.

Bub: The second use-case sounds a bit sus.

Loko: Yes, essentially it is double-speak.

Silent majority - meaning

A tiny minority of the populace who never shuts up. Thanks to an electoral system rigged in their favor, they nevertheless end up with an outsized amount of power. The word "silent majority" is just one of their many Orwellian terms, like how they claim to love "freedom."

The silent majority should try being more silent
