No, we wonder why the concept of “silent majority”, which only serves to display your ignorance every time you trot it out, continues to remain ensnared within the cobwebs of your mind, Bob.
Actually, it has long been true that those who are silent are the ones who don’t see any percentage in complaining. And of course it’s also true that “cancel culture” isn’t a real thing: It’s just what rude people say is being done to them when someone points out that they are being rude. Where “rude” is standing in for several other words…
Ah, yeas. “Cancel Culture”, that conspiracy theory where the RW feels there should be no consequences for their bigoted actions.
BTW, Gorrell, they are hardly the “majority”. They are just a group of a shrinking population that makes up for their diminishing numbers by getting louder and acting more extreme.
There is no silent majority. Trump was elected because racist pro-whites saw an opportunity to pair up with mainstream Republicans and elect their perfect leader.
Well stop trying to cancel so many people then! You can start by getting rid of those new, suppressive, voter-cancelling election laws in places like Georgia.
People in the U.S. are now saying there are consequences for speaking or acting distastefully and contrary to the common good. Those who traditionally have gotten away with such acts are now screaming that they’re being called on it.
General question – in these days of instant communication, to one or to millions, who can actually say they are being silenced, or censored, or cancelled? You might get barred or banned or evicted, but ___________ (fill in w/ your fave socmed) ain’t the only newspaper in town.
Projection, again—"conservatives" really and truly want everyone to shut up and go to their room who doesn’t subscribe to their world-view (not that it includes tha “world” literally). E.g. when Ms Greene insists that the biggest terrorist threat to the US is BLM.

Cancel culture. Such a ridiculous concept and phrase.

Hey, we Republicans gotta have our dog whistles. Got nothing else to run on.

It’s hard for something that doesn’t exist to make much noise.
Meanwhile, the actual majority is not silent.
(And neither are various minorities, including Gorrell himself.)

Mr. Gorrell, would you prefer to be in Mr. Navalny’s place instead? Or how about the protestors in Hong Kong, or Myanmar?
You don’t know what being silenced is, and you’re so privileged that you don’t even notice.
Sad!

So, why was the “silent majority” silent in the 80’s? #ConsequenceCulture is much needed.
