Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The silent majority is a large, unspecified group of people in a country or group who do not express their opinions publicly. The term was popularized by US President Richard Nixon in a televised speech on November 3, 1969, in which he said: "And so tonight to you, the vast silent majority of my fellow Americans: I ask for your support. In this usage, he was referring to those Americans who did not join the large anti-Vietnam War demonstrations at the time, who did not join the counterculture, and who did not participate in public discourse Nixon, along with many others, saw this group of average Americans as overshadowed in the media by the loudest minority.

I hope my answer helps you!
