A new grassroots movement is urging Democrats who are fed up with the ugly direction the party has taken in recent years -- especially since President Trump was elected -- to "walk away." The #WalkAway campaign is "dedicated to sharing the stories of people who can no longer accept the current ideology of liberalism and what the Democratic Party has become," the group's Facebook page states.
Some left long ago. Many of us have recently been “red-pilled”. Some here have wanted to leave for some time, but have feared the consequences they might suffer from friends or family if they walk away. This group is here to encourage and support those on the left to walk away from the divisive tenets by allowing people to share their stories, or watch the video testimonies and read the posts of others who have walked away.
Brandon Straka aka "The Unsilent Minority" kicked off the campaign with a video on May 26.
"It is my sincere hope that you will join me in this campaign and that we may start a movement in this country -- which not only encourages others to walk away from the divisive left, but also takes back the narrative from the liberal media about what it means to be a conservative in America," Straka says in the video.
It is up to all of us to make our voices heard and reclaim the truth. The Democratic Party has taken for granted that it owns racial, sexual, and religious minorities in America. It has encouraged groupthink, hypocrisy, division, stereotyping, resentment, and the acceptance of victimhood mentality. And all the while, they have discouraged minorities from having independent thought, open dialogue, measured and informed opinion, and a motivation to succeed. "For years now, I have watched as the left has devolved into intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, ill-informed, un-American, hypocritical, menacing, callous, ignorant, narrow-minded, and at times blatantly fascistic behavior and rhetoric," Straka says in the video below.
Well said.
I didn’t think there was a cure for leftism but apparently the ultra left found a way to push the moderate left away leaving them looking for a home. A gentle nudging approach, as you said, would be the way to go.
Of course there’s a big difference between the liberals of yesteryear and the Progressive/Marxist/Communist leftists of today. The old style liberalism wasn’t nearly as left. A lot were center-left. This new breed is bumping up against the far left end of the spectrum.
1.3 million views on the Facebook page. It got 50,000 views in the last hour, must be going viral.
It’s real.They are all over twitter with their testimonials.For each person there is a breaking point they describe.Very encouraging.
I met lots of Dems at the Trump rally we attended.
Now that Trump has a track record of keeping campaign promises and looking out for citizens first, the Never-Trumpers and moderate Dems will vote for him in 2020.

I’m right with ya
When Vince Foster showed up with bullets to the head
I woke up
Yep. The Democrat Party has long been out of style. It has wrinkled and shrunk to about 60 pounds and has one foot in the grave. Creepy, eh?

WalkAway Campaign- WHY I LEFT LIBERALISM & THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY —— 6/24/18
My 1st Vote for President was Jimmy Carter...after about 2 yrs in I told my parents "Carter is a nice man, but he has no Effin clue what he is doing"..
Reagan came and my whole family and myself walked away & we all never looked back!
Yeah, Hillary was a big part of my disgust at that time, too. I think most of America still doesn’t realize the evil of that pair.
