Yes.

I believe they are projecting, and have always.

They use fear because they are afraid, and it "works" for them, ergo, the "proselytize/evangelize" their "faith" to any and all, and with similar fervor as zealots are wont to do.

Their "God" is fear.


And those who are followers, some are "true believers" (the same), and some are "comforted" in the presence of those, because of some fear in things uncertain. Those (the majority) are of which come the #walkaway people, once they realize the "fear-mongers" only have fear and nothing to hope for, the #walkaway people seek the hope, and that hope is that the fear of things uncertain, can be understood and dealt with.

It is a condition that has plagued mankind as long as he has been aware of self.

I've got the theme song:

Are you in the least surprised? Mark Dice video. CNN now claiming this movement is nothing but- you guessed it- Russian bots.



Also, if you notice in the comments below that video, some of Dice's subsribers are saying youtube is not sending notifications to them when Mark posts a new video, which is yet another reason I urge you to consider supporting Mark Dice.

youtube flags his new videos as inappropriate, so they are demonetized. He then has to submit an appeal. This appeal process takes 18-24 hours. youtube then says "Oh, we made a mistake" and then allow the monetization of his videos- after his subscribers have watched these videos, meaning he gets next to nothing in the way of revenue because the main bulk of hits he gets for the video have already been logged while the video was demonitized. This is all calculated and entirely intentional. Please consider supporting Mark, and stick your finger in youtube's eye.

I didn't know bots could make videos.

Learn sumthin new every day.

Underwhelming accomplishment for the day—I now know what a “bot” is.

It has to be Russian bots because no one in the Democrat party thinks for themselves! No one leaves the Matrix! You plug in and mindlessly support the collective!

I have evidence, this one admits to being a Russian... If as many Americans were at happy to be in America as this transplant we'd be in a whole lot better place right now.

I can only interpret the #Walkaway movement as a net positive. It is great to see various people reject totalitarian leftist groupthink.

Democrats start to worry as their members #walkaway

THE POLITICAL EPIPHANY OF #WalkAway – The Democrats start to worry as their members #WalkAway
By Tim Bryce - July 20, 2018

I recently discovered there is only one thing Democrats hate worse than Republicans, specifically Democrats who have become fed up with the party and decided to #WalkAway. This is a movement consisting of former liberal Democrats who have deserted their party as they feel betrayed and lied to. How big is the movement? Nobody knows for sure, it’s too soon to tell as it is still in its embryonic stage, but the fact it even exists speaks volumes about how some Democrats are changing. Basically, #WalkAway is a hashtag campaign where former Dems post videos explaining why they left the party.

The movement appears to have been started by Brandon Straka of the Unsilent Minority in May 2018 who produced the first VIDEO explaining why he left the Democrats, which has since gone viral. The web site for the Unsilent Majority explains what they are all about:

“The Unsilent Majority’s goal is to expose the ongoing global attack on the truth. Using fact driven think pieces as a way to enlighten the uninformed, speak for those who cannot and spark rational debate.

We are not affiliated with anything, but facts, science, logic, trends and what is truly best for our country, world and humanity as a whole.”

While the movement is certainly welcomed by Republicans, it has drawn the ire of Democrats. For example, after visiting a camera shop, Mr. Straka posted a message expressing the anger he faced; “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.”

In addition to Brandon’s contribution, several videos have surfaced recently where former liberals express their rational for leaving the Democrats. Here is a small sampling:


There are many more available ON-LINE. Such videos though present a problem to Youtube! who appears to have liberal inclinations. As such, they have been closely monitoring the postings. In one, a woman told a story of how Eric Trump, the President’s son, made a generous donation to help her own son at a St. Jude hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. When she tweeted a message thanking him for his support, she was bombarded by several hate messages. So much so, she made a video explaining what happened along with her shock and disbelief by the reaction of the Democrats. I happened to watch the video in its entirety in the morning, but by the afternoon Youtube! had removed it claiming, “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s policy on nudity or sexual content.” This is simply not true.

The Washington Post is skeptical about the popularity of the #WalkAway movement (naturally). Whether it is in the hundreds, thousands or millions is immaterial. The fact it exists at all reflects a growing dissatisfaction with the Democrats internally and compounds the party’s problems.

Minority groups, such as Hispanics, blacks, even gays, who are lawful citizens and believe in the rule of law are leaving. They claim to be tired of the violence, the nasty rhetoric, and the labeling of victimization, calling it a lie. Frankly, they are tired of being manipulated by fear, and the incessant programming. To illustrate, here are some typical comments found in #WalkAway:

I decided to break down and say this. Violence is not what I signed up for. Seeing others attacked with bricks, bats, locks.. etc, for thinking “different”. I did my research I won’t be manipulated and lied to anymore. I’m not a victim because of my color or gender. #WalkAway

Dr. Carol M. Swain
@carolmswain
I left the Democratic Party because It no longer shared my values & principles. Its leaders used fear tactics to frighten & manipulate the electorate. It promised a lot & only delivered for the elites. It is now the party of Saul Alinsky. #WalkAway

CJ Pearson
@thecjpearson
Sorta wild that one party can simultaneously be the party of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, and internment camps – all at once! The entire history of the Democratic Party is riddle with hate. If you’re a person of color and you think they care about us, think again!

Many of the writers and speakers have done their homework and are re-examining history and the merits of socialism versus capitalism. They have suddenly come to the realization of the untruthfulness of the main stream media, and the weaknesses of our education system which does a poor job in teaching government and history.

This may not be a massive movement, at least not yet, but it does suggest Democrats are growing dissatisfied with the message and tactics of the party. We began to see a movement away from the Democrats in the 2016 election. I personally met several people who transferred out simply because they felt like the party abandoned them. Now, with the #WalkAway program, it appears people have grown tired of the manipulation.

All of this means, the Democrats are on shaky ground going into the midterm elections. It’s bad enough the party is fighting internally for control, but if they now lose the bedrock foundation of their members, their story grows much worse other than losing in November. It may even mean the breakup of an old party that has either lost its way or was torn apart internally. Either way, the times are changing for the Democrats as we know them today. People are simply not buying it anymore.

A bit long, but I watched this and thought how sad it is to live somewhere where physical harm is a likely possibility for speaking your mind? How bad that must feel coming from friends.

To those post baby boomers, those of us who are boomers and the few left from "the greatest generation", seem like "paranoid and un-trusting", but I remember a documentary I watched in the late 1960s or very early 1970s.

It was in a small darkened apartment with a small window overlooking more apartments. In the Soviet Union. (Russia)

It was bleak and sparse. (likely filmed for dramatic effect).

A young man was being interviewed. I would say very early 20s.

He lived in the apartment with his sister who he said was two years different in age.

She was not present, just the interviewer and a cameraman.

They were talking about "life" where the man lived, and the part that has always stuck with me, was that he was worried that his sister could turn him in for speaking to the reporters, or for anything, as he was not fond of the oppression and conditions of existing in the Soviet Union.

Even with his back to the wall, he turned and glanced over his shoulder at the empty wall.

It seemed like a "tell", that this was a habit in his life.

He truly looked apprehensive and nervous during the interview. No joy in his face or eyes, just the look of someone who was weary.

And over the years, that image of him, and the realization now of how young he was, his whole life ahead of him, and like a prisoner.

I have met people over the years who were able to escape from the USSR, (mostly Jewish folks) one guy was a buck sergeant in the USAF, (not Jewish) and was working to obtain his citizenship. He loved America and one time we talked and he told me how people in the US (and in the USAF) had ridiculed and insulted him.

But he loved America and the people in spite. He said he knew they did not understand but he also told me of the bigotry and hatred in the USSR. (He was from Ukraine, but had lived in Russia as well).

So, yeah, I and other "old folk" know from many different aspects what this insidious disease of the leftists is based upon.

It is evil, it is deadly and it is real.
It is a threat, and we must seriously understand that left unchecked, it will consume this Republic.

And many people will die if that happens.

100 million have perished in the past 100 years to communism.

Jesse, that’s the guy I was talking about in my post on the last page. How you can someone watch something like that and not think these people are telling us the truth?

It is a movement more deadly and captivating than Islam.

Another good video.
