We are the silent majority. We get no air time. We don't burn things down or tear things up. We go to work and support our families. We love America. We want to protect the unborn. We salute the flag. We sing "The Star Spangled Banner". We respect law enforcement and obey the law. We appreciate the military. We are the very backbone of this country. We believe all lives matter because that is what we learned from reading the Bible. We treat everyone with respect no matter what color their skin is. But we are invisible ! Let’s be heard! It’s time to start making some noise

Just to put this all in perspective Bill Barr's father Donald Barr was Jeffrey Epstein's mentor and gave him his 1st job at an all girls prep school. Donald Barr also wrote a bizarre novel about men in their 40's having sex with teenage girls.

Huh. I was recruited to teach at that prep school by Barr's successor. And I think the squib I copied is wrong and the school was co-ed both a decade after Barr left and while he was there. But Epstein made quite the impression on the girls in his short tenure - not a good one, for all that none then accused him of anything physical.

Right wing religious folk aren't the majority in the US.

And usually they tend to be pretty noisy and get their views out there.  Just unhappy the left and anti-racism folks are making the bigger noise, bigger splash with an election upcoming.

Not necessarily religious .
The quiet folk do what it says in their statement,,,salute the flag, not burn it.
Sing the national anthem not hate it .

The statement also references religion twice: the Bible and love for the unborn.

It's very much a conservative religious rightwing thesis.

They're invisible in so far as they're not burning down America, not rioting in the streets, not taking over cities, not  disrespecting the anthem and flag by taking knees and other protests.
It's a wonder they haven't all been sacked from their jobs and had their lives cancelled for saying "all lives matter".
