Trump is Winning Over Blacks, Hispanics, Millennials, and Even Gays
The American Thinker ^ | 07/02/18 | Karin MacQuillan

Posted on 07/02/2018 6:54:38 AM PDT by pgkdan

Democrat hate speech targeting deplorables has always worked -- on their own voters. Libeling Republicans as racist, homophobic morons has kept Democrat voters in line. President Trump laughs at their insults, and just gets stronger. Suddenly, one more Trump success. The Democrat line is breaking. Our minorities are breaking free.

President Trump’s off the charts achievements on jobs and security are improving the lives of every single Democrat identity voting bloc. A small, but increasingly significant number are noticing. With his MAGA gains on the economy and foreign affairs, President Trump is slowly chipping away at the Democrat Party’s foundations. The white working class already belongs to Trump. Fed up blacks, Hispanics, millennials and gays are starting to follow.

Ordinary people, including our minorities, are focused on the reality of their lives. Most Americans actually care about exactly the two big issues Trump cares about: jobs and personal safety. They notice more money in their paychecks. They notice when they get off food stamps and the unemployment line. They notice when they move from flipping hamburgers to a high-paying construction or assembly-line jobs. Securing our border, supporting cops, defeating ISIS in Syria, pressuring North Korea to “denuke” -- ordinary people get that we are safer than we were under Obama. Democrats can scream as loud as they want, but they cannot drown out reality.

On top of it, the screaming is turning people off. In the words of a gay woman, member of the #WalkAway movement,

She credits both the President's achiements , historic achievements, and the democrat party's absolute lunacy. Good read.

The #Walkaway movement is a response to what the democrat party has become. I've been talking about it hera for over a week. if you haven't checked it out, you should. It's very uplifting.

The question would be....how do you recover after November if so many people walked away, and it proves that they wasted the whole last two years talking about fake news and Russians?

#walkaway is going to be a much bigger success than “what the hell else you got to lose?”

Gays should not want the emergence of Sharia no-go zones where they are being tossed off of buildings.

Viral ‘Walk Away’ Videos Highlight Growing Movement of Democrats Leaving the Party

6/28/18

When actor James Woods tweeted out the hashtag “#WalkAway” in late June, even the alt-right missed the enormity of what lay beneath it. The Democratic Party had, in fact, struck an iceberg.

Meet Brandon Straka, the unlikely liberator and new face of the “silent minority” of Americans who’ve been cast out by family and friends, fired from jobs, and forced into silent social ghettos for their failure to “get it” about how hateful and dangerous Donald Trump is, and why he and all his supporters should be subjected to an ever-expanding social and professional fatwah.

Since Straka published his confessional video on May 26, his life as a New York City hairdresser and aspiring actor has been overtaken by a tidal wave.

While speaking to The Epoch Times about the explosion of his #WalkAway campaign, Straka had to occasionally stop to go style a client’s hair, all while fielding a constant barrage of newcomers’ testimonial letters, videos, and emails—over 1,000 a day.

From urban gay men to staunch liberal grandmothers, from a punk drag queen with black lips to a tattooed lesbian with a mohawk, those posting testimonials all had a breaking point, a moment when they decided to “walk away.”

Lea Anna Bright, in a mohawk, looks into the camera and says in a slow, simmering voice: “This is a Vice article I am reading right now. It says, ‘The activist left doesn’t give a shit about your calls for civility. Get ready for a summer of rage.’” She looks up. “This is where the party is going, and this is why I chose to walk away. Peace. Not for me. Bye.”

The video has garnered 1.3 million views on his Facebook page and has been shared on many other popular pages. It is estimated to have reached some 5 million viewers so far.

Libby Albert, one of the WalkAway Facebook group members, said “This is taking off,” citing the snowstorm of thousands of hashtags on Twitter. “It’s kind of incredible.”

I don't know if it's really happening (hope so) but there is precedent. Ronald Reagan took grief that until Trump was unimaginable. Crazy cowboy that wants to start WW3 and is senile and created homelessness and AIDS out of pure meanness. And in spite of that leftist / press (redundant, I know) vitriol he won in a gigantic landslide with huge support across party lines. George HW Bush's globalist agenda and patrician attitudes squandered the opportunity to consolidate the support Reagan forged but for a time it was massive. Because America was better for Americans under Reagan than it had been in 20 - 25 years.

Trump's doing that again, history says he should be rewarded for it. Time will tell though.

So far, Trump is tracking very similar to Reagan in terms of popularity across party lines. Despite being loathed by establishment Democrats (and many establishment Republicans as well), Reagan built a groundswell for a massive landslide in 1984.

Despite that, his coattails were still not enough to get the Republicans a majority in Congress. Reagan always had to cut deals with Tip O'Neil.

Of course, all the good Reagan did was quickly undone by George HW Bush and then Clinton.

I'm hoping Mike Pence (or whoever succeeds Trump) is able to carry the Trump legacy forward.

Because everyone sees that the SJW left will attack anyone and everyone.

No person is safe. The only course is to walk away.

If we assume that Trump gets two terms (the biggest risk to that is that he doesn't want to do the job for another four years due to health or just feeling like he's gotten it in the right direction and wants to step out of the picture) then when it's over you can expect the GOPe to rise up and do everything they can to ensure that one of their globalist tools is put into power. Someone like Romney or in the mold of Jeff Flake or another McCain. In other words, an open borders war monger globalist liar.

With Reagan they had George Bush already in place so it was easy, I don't think Pence is a globalist tool but he's not a Trumpian populist either so I don't know how he'd fare in that food fight. But they won't just hand it to him, I'll bet that.

I will also say this: the fact that we are comparing Trump to Ronald Reagan, in terms of domestic accomplishments and historical international achievements, is astonishing. Reagan is the benchmark that nobody in the GOP ever lives up to, in spite of all promising us they are Reagan redux. To many of us he is hands down the greatest President they've ever experienced. Nobody ever compared either Bush to Reagan, at least not favorably. Nor should they have. But Trump, ah, Trump. Yes, the comparisons just percolate up naturally.

Both Facebook and Twitter are trying to suppress the #walkaway hashtag but they're failing because the actions of the Democratic Party leaders and the Hollywood Left have really turned off voters en masse.

From one of the article links (RCP):

"...list of things at which Trump excels that are uncommon among politicians, all of which proceed from his decades in the business of real estate development:
...
3. Devotion to the truism that actions, esp'ecially over time, speak louder than words. Even as he relentlessly promotes his accomplishments, he also does something even more important: He keeps notching accomplishments to promote. Maybe it’s just a side effect of what Kanye calls “dragon energy,” but Trump consistently shows the ability to simultaneously walk, and chew gum, and rub his belly, and pat his head, and tweet, and juggle chainsaws."

I always laugh when they call him a white supremacist. Especially since NYC is such a hotbed for the Klan, etc.

I’ve heard rumblings of the Democrat coalition fracturing. I hope it’s true.

There are some internal fault lines on the Republican side. Libertarians and Evangelicals don’t agree about everything but their differences are nothing compared to the differences in the Democrat’s ranks. Blacks are no more in favor of a flood of illegal cheap labor than working class Whites who decisively came out for Trump. How about Gays and Muslims? Who do gays think are going to be the very first people Muslims go after - violently if they ever reach critical mass? I wonder how “greedy Jews” feel about the new socialist Puerto Rican barfly who is the darling of the MSM. On and On. Such contradictions are what you get when all you have to sell is cultural Marxism and group hate.
