Thread: The "Walk Away" movement

  1. #31
    I found that video refreshing. I know so many hateful democratics that need to watch this. I was at a function last night and met a classic Trump hater. I didn’t engage at a social function but had I seen this thread I would have just politely said google the walk away movement.

    The’re coming around, lol

    Some asshat is already trying to cointelpro him by using his picture and the facebook name #WalkAway. Whereas, the original is #WalkAwayCampaign. The upstart is claiming this guy is a Trump supporter trying to send Dems into the GOP camp. Didn't take long before the DNC started to work trying to crush this upstart.

    In 2017, James Woods Created the #WalkAway Campaign

    By CarolJoy
    | June 30, 2018


    Actor James Woods is the first person I know of who referred to “a walk away movement.” That was in the summer of 2017.

    Now that movement can lay claim to videos-gone-viral that discuss the 5 million people leaving the Democratic Party in droves.

    As Trump’s economy roars into life, as Republicans encourage free speech and discussion while the Left demands that each follower fully amps up hatred to be thrown at every “micro aggressor” and “everyone ignorant of the need for tolerance,” real people notice the difference. One party is the party of “can do” and the other party is that of nonsense. Who wants to answer the demand for everyone to be perfectly politically correct at all times and no matter what? Their inflating the appeal of ID Politics is causing the Left to lose.

    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 darn 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.”

    A most enjoyable article to read.

    Survey Finds Among White Millenial Men, 23% Move From Dems To GOP In Last Two Years
    https://www.dailywire.com/news/32485...nt=092117-news

    The Democrats have been relishing their popularity with millenials for a variety of reasons: 55% of millennials voted for Hillary Clinton, while roughly 33% voted for Donald Trump; an AP-Norc/MTV Youth Political Pulse poll found only 33% of young Americans approve of President Trump’s actions in handling his job as president, while the majority believe he is “mentally unfit” (60%), “generally dishonest” (62%) or “a racist” (63%); and a Pew Research Center study found millennials gave a 64% job approval rating to President Obama in 2009-2010 but only 27% approval of Trump in 2017-2018.

    Reuters Poll: Young White Americans Flee Democrat Party in Droves Since Trump’s Election

    https://www.google.com/search?source....0.a6XacIgT8xM

    3 Jul 2018Washington, D.C.7,211

    Young white Americans are fleeing the Democrat Party en masse following the election of President Donald Trump in 2016, a new poll reveals.
    The latest Reuters/Ipsos Poll surveyed more than 16,000 registered voters between the ages 18 to 34 over the course of the last three months of 2018. This same poll was conducted in 2016 around the same time period.

    Young white Americans, in 2016, favored Democrats over Republicans in 2016 by a 47 to 33 percent margin. Since Trump’s election — and his booming economy which has secured high-paying jobs and record job opportunities — young white Americans’ favoritism for Democrats has disappeared.

    Today, 39 percent of young white Americans say they favor Republicans, while another 39 percent of young white Americans say they favor Democrats.


    Reuters/Ipsos Poll

    Overall, the poll revealed that Democrats are losing young Americans in general. For example, before Trump’s election, 55 percent of young Americans said they favored Democrats over Republicans. Today, that margin is down to only 46 percent of young Americans who are still loyal to Democrats.

    Key to Trump’s election was the issue of mass illegal and legal immigration, wherein the United States admits more than 1.5 million immigrants every year. As Breitbart News reported, a majority of white Americans say immigration to the U.S. has made life in America “worse.”

    The Reuters poll also comes as the Democratic Party is increasingly built on a platform of open borders in the hopes of diversifying the American electorate to dramatically change the direction of the country.

    Overall, the U.S. is on track to bring in about 15 million new foreign born voters in the next 20 years, as the country continues admitting more than one million legal immigrants every year, as Breitbart News noted. This booming foreign born population is likely to hand electoral dominance over to Democrats.

    The founder of a movement that encourages disillusioned Democrats to walk away from their party says he was denied service by an employee at a New York electronics store after he was recognized from an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
    Brandon Straka, a gay hairdresser and the founder of the "Walk Away" campaign using the viral hashtag #WalkAway, had spent over an hour on Thursday carefully choosing equipment at electronics superstore Adorama in Manhattan following a week of media appearances, reports the Epoch Times.


    After an employee sent Straka to a different department to buy a microphone, a customer in front of him exclaimed "I saw you on Tucker!" - before asking for a picture with the "Walk Away" founder.
    The exchange was overheard by a store employee, who then refused to sell him the mic.
    “He stared at me with this kind of dead-pan expression,” Straka told The Epoch Times. “And he said: Are you planning to use this equipment for alt-right purposes?’
    As Straka struggled to comprehend what was happening, the clerk, whom Straka asked not be named, said: “I’m sorry I just don’t feel comfortable selling to you. I can’t sell to you.” -Epoch Times
    A shocked Straka reeled from what he says was his first experience of a public shunning over his political views - though he said that friends had done so in private.
    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.
    — Brandon Straka (The Unsilent Minority) (@usminority) July 5, 2018
    "It kind of took my breath away,” he said. “I said to him, ‘Listen, if you can’t sell to me, that’s fine, but, you know, person to person, I’d like to talk to you, because I don’t think you know what Walk Away is about. And he said, ‘Well, you know, I’m done. I’m not comfortable selling to you. You’re welcome to talk to someone else in the store but I’m not going to sell to you.’"
    Beside himself after the experience, Straka says he went downstairs, composed himself, and asked another clerk to help him - only to be referred to the bigoted employee. Eventually, he got his mic.
    Straka saw how baffled the go-between salesman looked. “He was like, ‘You’re not?’ And he repeated: ‘I’m not selling to him.'”
    The other salesman came over to Straka and said, “Let’s go back upstairs.” Straka waited for about 20 minutes, and this time the salesman returned with the microphone and Straka was able to pay and leave.
    Walking out of the store, he said: “I was shaking. I was hurt. I had this huge adrenaline rush. I felt embarrassed and I also felt nervous." -Epoch Times
    Straka then expressed concern over being "doxxed" by the angry employee since Adorama collects so much personal information.
    "At every station of the store, I’d given them my personal information. What if this kid decides to go into the computer and dox [to publish private information, as in a phone number or address] me?"
    "I am not a guy who has a lot of money. I can’t have people going to my apartment and harassing me."
    “My instinct is telling me to practice compassion and forgiveness here. I don’t want to see this guy getting fired. I don’t want anything bad to happen to him. I don’t want people harassing him.”
    Adorama issued a statement in response to the incident over Twitter:
    “The Adorama Management Team deeply regrets the incident involving an employee in our store. Please know this is not who we are, and does not reflect the position of our owners or other staff members. This is being taken seriously and is being addressed with the highest priority.”

    Facebook has banned Brandon Straka, the former Democrat who founded the "Walk Away" campaign and its viral hashtag #WalkAway, after he linked to Infowars.com - which has been banned from the platform.

    He says that the ban has "devastated" his ability to reach people ahead of an October 26 march on Washington, all because of a Facbeook post that read: "Hey, Patriots! I’m going live on Infowars.com in 15 minutes."
    Straka tweeted on Wednesday: "FACEBOOK JUST BANNED ME AS I AM PLANNING THE #WalkAway March on Washington!!! I have been banned from posting leading up to the March. This is devastated for our ability to reach people!!! I was banned for mentioning my interview with Alex Jones. Can anybody help???"

    Just to be safe, Straka has now deleted any mention of Alex Jones or Infowars from his Twitter feed:
    1. I just went through my twitter feed and deleted tweets that contained the name of the man who was recently banned on all platforms and the name of his show- all of them except the tweet I just put out which contained his name along with the message that I’ve been banned.

    2. This is where we are now. You can have your voice taken away 4 saying a NAME that they don’t want you to say. I will never disappear from Twitter for a day. So if you don’t hear from me for a day or two- they got me on here, too. It is so unbelievable that this is real life.

    BREAKING: FBI Agents Arrest ‘Walkaway’ Founder Brandon Straka

    https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/202...randon-straka/

    By Cristina Laila

    Published January 25, 2021 at 3:58pm

    FBI agents arrested ‘Walkaway’ founder Brandon Straka on Monday for his ‘actions’ at the US Capitol on January 6.

    The ‘WalkAway’ campaign began on Facebook in the summer of 2018 after Straka, a handsome, gay hairdresser from New York posted a video explaining why he was walking away from the Democrat party.

    The Walkaway movement attracted tens of thousands of people, making Straka a target of the Marxist left.

    Straka, 44, was taken into custody on Monday by agents from the FBI Omaha Field Office and faces charges of impeding a law enforcement officer during civil disorder, knowingly entering and remaining on restricted grounds without lawful authority and/or engaging in disorderly conduct within proximity to a restricted building to impede official functions and engaging in disorderly conduct with intent to disturb a hearing before Congress.

    According to the complaint, the FBI received many tips about Brandon Straka’s involvement in the protest at the Capitol, including one from his own relative.

    His only “crime” appears to be exercising freedom of speech.

    First the President is cut off from twitter, then Sen.

And now ‘Walkaway’ founder Brandon Straka is arrested by Biden’s FBI. Is it not self-evident a dangerous and un-American pattern is developing to cancel patriotic conservative speech?

    What is obvious is you never took the time to actually read the CRIMINAL COMPLAINT .

    I took the time to read the CRIMINAL COMPLAINT and it appears Straka never entered the U.S. Capitol, nor is there evidence of him obstructing any law enforcement officers. Additionally, some of the comments made by Straka, which the FBI agent quotes in the complaint, were not even made during the Capitol event.


    There is a very good chance Straka was targeted for his political views and encouraging people to walk away from the socialist/communist controlled democrat party.


    Whether you want to admit it or not, the truth is, we are living in dangerous times when our federal government’s agencies are used to silence political speech, and also works in concert with a Fifth Column media and communication tech. giants, to silence the speech of American citizens.

    The Count is a democrat who voted in favor of all this.

    He's certainly not going to agree in writing.

    What does that have to do with anything that I was saying?


    Also, could you not use 10 different font sizes per post? It makes your posts less clear rather than more clear.
