There’s a no-longer-silent counter-counter revolution going on in America and its called #WalkAway. As the Democratic party fragments into staunch Trump presidency deniers, fiercely loyal Clinton supporters, and ultra left-wing progressives, many within the party are beginning to realize that having Donald Trump for president isn’t so bad.
The #WalkAway movement is epitomized by a young hairstylist from New York who identifies himself as a gay former liberal who has had enough of the Democratic Party. Brandon Straka’s simple video was first unnoticed a few weeks ago but has gone viral with over 5 million followers on Facebook and Twitter. Now there are hundreds of others posting and tweeting their own decision to just #WalkAway.
Liberal news sources like The Washington Post have been quick to try and label the whole thing a Republican-driven hoax. The Post reacted with this:
“There’s little actual evidence to suggest that #WalkAway represents a mass conversion of millions — or even thousands — of Democrats to the Trump Train since Straka’s video. Instead, the #WalkAway hashtag is going Conservative Internet viral on the same hope driving recent pro-Trump support of Kanye West: that the country is on the verge of a mass conversion to conservative thought, a Great Awakening of sorts …”
The Post goes on to accuse what it calls the “pro-Trump Internet” of being expert at swaying popular opinion. It then valiantly perpetuates its own myth that a Blue Wave in the 2018 midterms is inevitable.
