The Silent Majority of 1968 is neither silent nor a majority in 2020. Tucker Carlson's ratings are high for today's cable television environment, but still way less than what Walter Cronkite and other anchors pulled back then. The far left on Twitter isn't real life, I agree. You seem to be conflating your reaction to the far left on Twitter to a public which isn't at all exposed to it. The closest thing to a Silent Majority in 2020 is, for lack of a better way to put it, are the "Normie Democrats." Joe Biden is perfectly in sync with that. Now, I agree that the election is far from a sure thing. The polls are going to narrow at least some before November. The whole mechanics of the election with coronavirus raging are uncertain. The willingness of Republicans to contest and overturn results can't be underestimated.
