“Silent Majority”
It’s always their go-to when pressed on when they’re called out.
They can’t grasp the idea that their beliefs are really that unpopular so they cling to an idea of a “silent majority” that agrees with them but is either too censored or too bullied to speak up for what they think is the truth.
Sorry buddy, there is no such thing as a “silent majority” quietly agreeing with you but afraid to speak up, you and your illiterate buddies are just assholes and your opinions are shit.
It’s just an appeal to authority. There are plenty of silent majorities that are real, but often the arguments that built those silent majority are sound on their own and are much better to argue with, so there is no reason to point out a silent majority.
Like, not being a flat earther is a silent majority, because 99% of people don’t even think, talk or discuss such ideas, but you don’t need to rely on a silent majority to debunk it.
