The myth of the silent majority sitting directly in the midpoint of whatever positions the GOP and DNC espouse at any given time is also part of the problem. People like my dad are convinced, polls and voting trends be damned, that the vast majority of voters are right of the Democrats and left of Republicans. Less woke than Dems, but less racist than Reps. Less white than Reps, but more white than Dems. etc etc.
The true majority is a collection of:
- The uninformed ("non-political" voters)
- The uneducated (stupid people)
- The apathetic (ones who don't even vote)
- People who don't understand the class war we've had for the past several thousand years
I feel the need to somehow combine these two images.
