The silent majority distrusts people who believe in causes.

Summary

This quote suggests that the "silent majority," referring to the larger portion of society who stay uninvolved or remain silent on social and political issues, tends to be skeptical or wary of individuals who are passionate about and dedicated to causes or ideologies. It implies that those who fervently believe in causes may be viewed with suspicion or mistrust by those who choose not to take a stance or get involved. This can be seen as a reflection of a certain skepticism towards individuals who are strongly committed to a particular belief system or agenda.
