A '''silent majority''' is a large amount of people who, as the term implies, constitute a [[majority]] or large amount of the population on a certain issue or issues, but have not openly expressed their opinions. This causes the opposing side to appear numerically larger, but the silent majority can often be seen on election days. | A '''silent majority''' is a large amount of people who, as the term implies, constitute a [[majority]] or large amount of the population on a certain issue or issues, but have not openly expressed their opinions.
