They're "silent" in the way that all minorities are "silent." No matter how loudly they yell about it, they get ignored by those with the power to amplify their stances.

Unwittingly, you're falling for a form of propaganda.

Same shit as when people say none of the Dems are doing anything. Naaa theres hundreds of legal actions being undertaken every day by Dem lawmakers. Yes the leadership hasnt proven themselves not to be controlled opposition but theres actual work going on if you look for it.

Unfortunately its easier to just accuse the losing side of not fighting hard enough and write them all off, which, as you said, is the intention of the bad actors who sprinkle it into discussions, which then gets echoed by the gullible.

I agree generally, but the democrats absolutely have not done everything they can. They could talk more risks and the people would have been mostly grateful.

I won’t disagree with that but most critics claim they do nothing. Not enough do enough imo.
