Silent Majority definition.
A term used by President Richard Nixon to indicate his belief that the great body of Americans supported his policies and that those who demonstrated against the involvement of the United States in the Vietnam War amounted to only a noisy minority.

A couple definitions:
" a presumed moderate majority of the citizens who are too passive to make their views known"
" the majority of a country's citizens, regarded as not politically vocal, outspoken, or active."
But, if Nixon used it, then I guess liberals would consider the term NOT to be politically correct.
