Richard Nixon
"silent majority", a term he used to refer to conservative Americans who were believed to be largely supportive of his policies but were not vocal about it. Nixon sought to tap into the frustrations of this group and position himself as their representative, promising to restore law and order and bring an end to the Vietnam War. This appeal helped him secure a narrow victory in the election.

if he hasn't figured out he's a human by now, i don't think he ever will ~elf so to answer your question, there's two real answers one: if nixon didn't appeal to the silent majority in his silent majority speech of 1969, he never would have gotten re-elected. he knew that while protesting groups were against the vietnam war, the majority that were not as concerned with the hippie culture and politics etc, backed up his logic for stopping communism and allowing the war to continue. two: nixon's "silent majority" was a political slogan used to get people to think that the majority of american's were on his side. he made it sound as though there was a great majority of people who backed him up while in reality, most americans were looking for peace and a way out of the war, as they were when johnson was president. the "silent majority" had no influence in the election of 1972-- the only reason he was able to win was because in the midst of a war the people did not want to risk a shift in power.
Silent Star was created in 1968.
