#WalkAway

Among all of the turmoil in our society right now, something wonderful has begun. Maybe in the current socio-political climate, it was bound to happen, but maybe not. There is a movement of “awakening” spreading. This movement is truly all-inclusive; gay, straight, black, white, young, old, and more. It is the #WalkAway Campaign. The official website explains it wonderfully:

The #WalkAway Campaign, founded by former liberal Brandon Straka, is a true grassroots movement. It is a Facebook video campaign movement, dedicated to sharing the stories of people who can no longer accept the current ideology of liberalism and what the Democratic Party has become. Some of us left long ago, while many have recently been “red-pilled”.  Some have wanted to leave for some time but have feared the consequences they might suffer from friends or family if they were to walk away.   

The 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, watch the video testimonies, and read the posts of others who have walked away.   

The campaign also serves another very important purpose. For far too long, the left has controlled the narrative in this country within the news media, while the “silent majority” on the right have done what they always do – remain silent. The left has been allowed to reinforce the narrative that everybody on the right is a bigot, a racist, a homophobe, a misogynist, etc. The left has become so extreme and hateful that it is now time to fight back! We want people on the right to use their voices and tell the world the truth about whom they are by making videos telling everyone what it means to be a conservative in America and what your values really are. Tell minorities on the left, who have been told their whole lives that they are not welcome on the right because of the bigotry and hatred, that they are welcome. Tell them there is a seat at the table on the right for everybody.   

This is a movement of Patriots from all walks of life – men, women, black, brown, white, straight, LGBTQ, religious, and non-believers – who share something very important in common. 



These are very brave people to change their stance, usually against their peers and families. Regardless, they are thankful for their decision, having made it on their own.

It’s been a long time since I was on the left. Decades, actually. So I’m not on the “inside’ of the movement. But these individuals are making this decision based on their actual experience and research, not just taking someone’s word for it or following a group. No identity politics here. These testimonies are powerful and moving. I encourage everyone to choose any one of them and watch with an open mind.

Over the past few days, there has been an opposing campaign to discredit #WalkAway as Russian bots or propaganda. That the posts and memes are fabricated. Every one of these I’ve read were readily discredited.

Please help me pass this on. We should always encourage everyone to look at all sides of all issues with as much of an open mind as possible, can come to their own conclusions. People don't have to be enslaved by identity politics.
