The silent majority is an unspecified large group of people in a country or group who do not express their opinions publicly.The term was popularized by U.S. President Richard Nixon in a televised address on November 3, 1969, in which he said, "And so tonight—to you, the great silent majority of my fellow Americans-I as for your support”
