Why the Silent Majority Is Turning Angry

Americans are an easygoing lot. We let bygones be bygones. If crazy Uncle Bob wants to rattle on at Thanksgiving dinner about global warming in the middle of the coldest winter in twenty years, we politely ask for more cranberry sauce.

We have been known as "the silent majority." We vote pretty often, but we don't donate to politicians or volunteer on campaigns. And we certainly don't protest at City Hall.

But this good nature is predicated on our government playing by the rules and staying out of our lives. (Watch the fun when someone from the government knocks on our door and offers to help.) We're old enough to have been taught about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights in school, and we know that without fair and consistent rules, a successful society can't exist.

So when we see a systematic assault on our American rights that has a major impact on our daily lives, we start to wake up. And when it continues, we start to get angry.

The problem is that America is a very diverse culture. What is important to me may not be at the top of your list. If I am a man of faith and see attacks on religious freedom, someone who is a gun enthusiast might not care very much. But if someone tries to take away his rights to bear arms, watch out!

It looks as if the silent majority is finally seeing the writing on the wall. We are realizing that if we do nothing when the government comes for our neighbor, then there will be no one left to help when the government comes for us.

The left's control of the media, social media, and the government has allowed them to go after pretty much everything that is American, starting with every tenet of our Bill of Rights.

Freedom of religion, free speech, free press, freedom of assembly, and freedom to petition our government for grievances are all included in just the First Amendment. We are now told where and when we can worship. We are limited in what we can say and our press has become simply a megaphone for government propaganda. We are restricted to where and when we can meet, and our government officials ignore us when we ask them to follow their own laws.

New American citizens from communist countries are frantically shouting to us that these basic freedoms were the first to go when their former countries were taken over.

The final straw was with the COVID pandemic. As good-natured Americans, we did what our leaders asked to "slow the spread," but soon we realized that the harm of the shutdowns, closed schools, and unproven vaccines outweighed the benefits. When people started telling their personal stories of vaccine side-effects, we realized that forcing people to take an experimental injection against their will, especially if the safeguards and proper oversight are being ignored, is a threat to their very lives. And using back-door mandates from employers and schools has every thinking American crying "foul."

The new Angry Majority is showing up and shouting loudly in local school board meetings, demanding an end to liberal sex indoctrination and Critical Race Theory. They are coming to city councils in record numbers demanding more funding to their local police and are signing petitions to recall governors who have exceeded their authority with insane COVID rules.

Woke corporations who are currying favor with leftist elites are seeing a serious financial backlash from citizens who feel that a carbonated beverage should have zero political views and insist that basketball players should not be wearing political slogans on their jerseys.

We may not always agree on which issues of fairness and freedom are most important, but we can all concur that when they are attacked, we must band together to protect our country's future and our way of life.

Majority? Is this opposite day or do we need a dictionary?

[/MSG/]

Impotent rage

[AProudLefty]

Is this satire? If so, it's pretty hilarious.

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

Impotent rage

being a deep state sellout isn't as cool as you think it is.

[Micawber]

Long past caring what you lying treasonous scum think or what motivates you. This is cold war. See you at midterms you powerless traitor to MY flag.

being a deep state sellout isn't as cool as you think it is.

What do you legitimately think is gonna happen? Crying online is the extent people are willing to go these days. I'd say less than 1,000 can even muster the contempt for the State to leave their house let alone do anything about it.

[Nordberg]

The silent majority. I live that construct. You claim it exists and you assume the power to speak for it. That is political genius if you can sell it. I did not buy it when Nixon tried it. I still don't buy it but I am not the target for it. Repubs fall in line for that.

Good post. The 2022 elections will be a good example of the rage.

[Micawber]

Didn't you mean to say deplorable minority of treasonous scumbags?

Yes, we know you scum are angry, which is why you attacked the US government on Jan 6 2021.

We are past that and past caring. Fuck you. Die.

Keep t up. That Deplorable minority rose up to defeat the Dems in 2016 and it will happen again in 2022 and 2024.

You'd have to be a moron if you actually took the OP seriously.

[Micawber]

If you watch Fox news enough I guess you see imaginary gubmint sikorskys with jack boots rappelling on your roof.

Dumbfucks have NO legitimate beef with the government. They are just a bunch of ignorant poor ass lazy rednecks with no reason
to wake up in the morning.
