Black, Gay, Vet Leaves Democratic Party, Becomes Republican – Needs Everyone To Know Why
Now boasting nearly 150,000 members in its Facebook group and widespread media coverage,
the #WalkAway movement is taking the Democratic Party by storm. Former Democrats telling their
stories of why they are choosing to #walkaway on various forms of social media is a message
that resonates with many Americans. Brandon Straka, a gay hairdresser from New York City
is the founder of the "Walk Away" campaign along with the viral hashtag #WalkAway.
According to Fox News, Straka cites the "negative rhetoric spoken by the left and intolerance
it has shown has been a big reason as to why he's walked away." He simply made a video
explaining the evolution of his thought process, and his choice to simply "walk away" from
a political party that he believes left him behind. Posting his thoughts on social media,
it promptly went viral.
Straka begins with… "Once upon a time, I became a liberal. Well, to be honest, less
than a year ago, I was still a liberal."
He continues – "I reject a system which allows an ambitious, misinformed and dogmatic
mob to suppress free speech, create false narratives, and apathetically steamroll over
the truth….I reject hate."
He called liberalism "intolerant, inflexible, illogical, hateful, misguided, ill-informed,
un-American, hypocritical, menacing, callous, ignorant, narrow-minded and at times blatantly
fascistic. He then adds – "If you are a person of color, an LGBT person, a woman
or an American immigrant, the Democratic Party wants you to know you are a victim. This is
perhaps the Democratic Party's greatest, and most insidious, lie."
Straka at one point was denied service at electronics superstore Adorama in Manhattan
after he was recognized after an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson talking
about the "Walk Away" campaign.
He tweeted – "I'm shaking right now. I just went into a camera store to buy a camera
and a light and mic, etc. and they recognized me from tv. I was refused service because
they said it was for "alt right" purposes. That literally just happened."
Rob Smith is another man who chose to leave the Dem party. Inspired by Straka's campaign,
Smith also chose to #walkaway. A black, gay, Army veteran, Smith was also sick of being
told he was little more than a victim and forced to participate in identity politics
and false narratives.
Appearing on Fox News' "Watters' World" on Saturday, Smith states – "I think for
me, I got so sick of the lies. What they were telling black people. When you are a black
person you get messages from Democrats saying you are a victim and you need us to succeed
and you need us to achieve, you need this ever-expanding welfare state to make something
of yourself. I got tired of it and sick of that message that it needed them, and I got
sick of that message of victimhood that they continue to push to black Americans for the
last three decades of my life."
Smith stated he simply gave up on the Democratic party because he refuses to be told what to
think or say or be "kept in line." He explained – "I think Democrats use identity
politics to keep people in line. To keep black people in line. To keep Latinos in line. To
keep gay people in line. I'm black and gay, and I have seen them use the same tactics
for black people as they do for gay people."
Smith also spoke with Watters on just how difficult it was to choose to walk away. Smith
made the distinction that it was actually easier to come out as a gay man than it was
a Republican. He explained – "I didn't lose friends when I came out as gay. I've
lost friends since coming out as Republican. People do not understand it and these are
the… left, that's supposed to be so tolerant and inclusive. These are the people who were
the first to shun me when I came out as conservative."
Smith states he has personally faced a lot of criticism for his choices and has been
called everything but a "child of God" for choosing to follow what his conscience
dictates that he must do. He asked simply – But why can't I have different ideas?
Why can't I be free thinking? Why can't I have a victor mentality?"
The #WalkAway stories are compelling and often quite moving, resonating with large swaths
of the population. People from every imaginable background — black, white, Hispanic, rich,
poor, straight, gay, trans, and even celebrities have spoken out and explained their reasons
for choosing to leave the Democratic party. Many of them have voted as a Democrat since
they were first able to vote. The majority of them have lost friends for choosing to
think for themselves and refusing to be "kept in line." Many of them have also found support
and friendship among others also dealing with the same level of displacement in the #WalkAway
community.
Interestingly enough, the "Walk Away" Campaign has gained such traction and so many
have responded choosing to #walkaway, left-leaning mainstream media sources have attempted to
discredit the movement claiming that it is simply a right-wing propaganda effort propped
up by a legion of Russian bots.
PJ Media reports – "In 2016, the Democrat media complex ignored the massive grassroots
movement that came out in support for Trump, dismissing his massive rallies and popularity
online as somehow insignificant. Now they are dismissing the #WalkAway campaign as a
propaganda movement. Once again, something genuine and significant is happening across
the nation, and it's getting ignored or ridiculed by media elites. It doesn't matter.
Like a snowball rolling downhill, the movement is getting bigger and bigger with each day
and there's nothing an elite can do to stop it.
In story after story, former Democrats — including a popular, Grammy-nominated musician — describe
how they finally saw through the lies, smears, duplicity, and hypocrisy that infects today's
Democratic Party. And how they couldn't help but notice the outrageous double standard
in the way liberals and conservatives are treated. For people who remotely pay attention,
the corrupt stench of the party is getting harder and harder to ignore.
"Laws are made for everyone and now it's as if Demacrats [sic] are protecting each
other and seems like they can break the laws and they get away scot free," writes Barbara
Kaminsky, who says she comes from a long line of Democrats. "If an ordinary person like
me did the things they do I would be under the jail. I am disillusioned by the fact that
Hillary got off with nothing for the massive corruption, dishonesty and lies she has done
and just skates back to her mansion and a young naval man takes a picture to send his
family and goes to prison. I could go on and on but I digress."
Christiana S. F. Chamon writes that she comes from "a very leftist Brazilian family"
that essentially told her what to think. She says she voted for Obama twice, and really
thought "Republicans were evil racists, bigots, and Bible thumpers."
Her eyes started to open near the end of her freshman year in college, when she says she
started asking her leftist friends questions. "The more questions I asked, the more insults
I was called," Chamon says. "'Racist,' 'sexist,' 'misogynist,' etc. I soon
realized that these leftists are the very thing they claim to be against: racist, intolerant,
close-minded, etc. Anything that dares be different from their echo chamber, immediately
they lash out.'
During her journey, Chamon found out that everything she was told about the opposing
party was a lie. '[T]hese moderates/Libertarians/Republicans are some of the kindest, most open-minded
people I've ever met,' she writes. 'Through friendly discussions with people on the center/right
whom I disagreed with, I learned to look at things objectively and not base my opinions
on those of a collective group, whether left or right. I became a free thinker, and I encourage
everyone to do the same.'"
