However, recent elections have shown that the majority of the country don't have a problem with "liberals". The right wing had just managed to delude itself into thinking that the majority of the country was "conservative" because they'd won a few elections. Turns out that wasn't the case.

Yep, I remembering hearing Hannity about 4 years ago going on and on about how the fact was simply that most of the country was conservative. Obviously not.
The republicans would have you believe most of the country is conservative and the democrats want you to think most of the country is liberal. The reality is most of them are more centrist and independent. They call them the silent majority because those in the middle, while they may lean one way or the other, tend to not make a stink. The hardcore liberals and conservatives are the ones that protest and scream and yell over individual issues. Those in the middle tend to stay out of it.
