We need to cut off this discussion of the silent majority. I have heard way to much from this Nixionian Silent Majority through the megaphone of Donald Trump. It is time for the majority to speak up by casting their vote in November, We will make America America again. It will be a country lead by a new silent majority who believes in majority rule and the principles of our constitutional government.

(12,712 posts)I often wonder how it would go if that "party unto itself" the nonvoters, where to become active and participate.
What impact would those who feel apathetic, disenfranchised, disaffected, etc., have if they did turn out? Since we have about 100-million of them, (and I have seen studies that show they tend to lean left) actually decided to make their voice heard for a change in such a pivotal election and not sit this one out?
It would be great to see ads that talk directly to them, mention the statistics as to their numbers and remind them of the size of their silent, inactive party. Point a finger and say, hey, what about YOU?

The GOPee and Wall Street will never allow it though.
