Just because you can, doesn't mean you should |
That guy in the last video pretty much nailed it. Liberal once meant open minded. Now it means extremely close minded, extremely left. Nothing liberal, using the definition of the word, about them. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

Look at it this way: this is a process the GOP has already gone through once, recently, in the run-up to the 2016 elections. If anyone was going to bail on Trump or the GOP, they would have done so sometime within the last year and a half. This is all new for the donkeys, and the water in this flood is rising, not falling. Down the road this may be a GOP problem again, but right now it's all going the other way. | |||

Yeah, and we're takin' it back. If you pay attention you'll notice that the term "leftist," to mean the people that like to call themselves "liberals," is being increasingly used to refer to the anti-liberal, authoritarian leftists. They're slowly losing their cover "America is at that awkward stage.

That’s helpful, and a great way to show them they’re welcome on our side. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

What's interesting about comments like his is not so much what they're intended to say about his target as what they say about him. "America is at that awkward stage.

As for myself, I’ve been posting encouraging and welcoming comments to some of these videos. Watched one earlier posted by a gay man who just about totally broke down when he was talking about how he lost most of his friends and family when he started posting conservative stuff on social media. I couldn’t NOT encourage him to stay strong and hang in there, even if he felt he had stay closeted as a conservative now since he lives in Denver. These people have been lied to. They’ve been made to fear us. We need to welcome the ones with the courage to speak up about being red pilled. There’s just no other way that doesn’t make us hypocrites. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

A good post on #WalkAway, even if authors return button was broken at the time of writing. Bolding is mine.
I'm not a religious person, I don't approve of abortions, but am not supporting abolishing abortion. I think there are times it should be done - rape, incest, genetic anomalies, mother's health. Thing is I don't want to pay for someones convenience abortion, and I think it's doubly unfair to someone like her. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

You fellows need to chill out. Leftists aren't coming over to our side, at least not until they intellectually outgrow their Leftist inculcation, like the people in these walkaway videos. . | |||

You can be assured they aren't walking away from the extreme, intolerant left to join the extreme, intolerant right. "America is at that awkward stage.

Your right, it's not a zero sum game, but no matter the results we win. Ideal situation = -1 D, +1 R vote. That's awesome, +2 net win for us, yeah it might not always happen, but that's OK too. If instead it's -1 D, +1 Green/3rd/fringe, that is still +1 gain for us. So even if we aren't winning anyone over, we're still gaining a better margin. So even a complete disconnect from voting/politics still equals net +1 good guys. Let's say half decide to vote R. That's still a 1.5 average vote swing in our favor for everyone that Walks Away. No matter what happens, there is no way this movement is bad for us. I'll take every one of the 140,000 votes taken from Ds and rejoice for each one that is added to our column, even if it's only a third or half. For any that are worried about the effect of welcoming in these people, don't. The people walking away more that likely think more like me and you than the party they are leaving. Smile.

Scott Adams, above, is SPOT. ON. Just a GREAT POINT! "Do you believe that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi are as afraid of the future as they have made you [the Left] feel?" The Left was pulling the FEAR card waaaay before President Trump got into office. Think about in elections past when the subject of health care came up. The Left instilled FEAR in the hearts of their sheep that the Republicans were going to throw grandma off the proverbial cliff. Think about the FEAR they've been waging against guns and the NRA for YEARS. The FEAR Campaign didn't start just yesterday. The Left has been cultivating it for YEARS!!! Sheep! All of them...friggin' SHEEP! "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

How about trying to look at it another way? Instead of thinking "How does this help us?", whomever "us" might be, how about thinking of it in terms of being happy people are finally realizing they've been lied-to and gamed for years, and waking up to the fact of it? Some of them may vote "your side," because they still can see only binary choices. Some may go libertarian, or green, or start a new party. I don't care, personally, as long as they stop supporting the authoritarian leftists. "America is at that awkward stage.

Stated another way: Whatever is bad for the Democrat Party is GOOD for America. “Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams | |||
