News and commentary: progress in work
Congressman Keith Ellison, the Minnesota Democrat, was “loomered” at a Democratic party picnic on Saturday by intrepid conservative journalist Laura Loomer, who has become known for using the left’s traditional street-theater tactics against the left itself.
Any non-liberal invited on The View to discuss politics is almost guaranteed to be abused and shouted down. For Judge Jeanine Pirro, the show even added an additional interlocutor, CNN’s Never Trump zealot Ana Navarro, as part of the ambush.
This is a grassroots, rapidly-gaining-traction movement created by Brandon Straka, initially with his own viral video, that has created a social media community of disaffected liberals who have left the Democratic Party and its authoritarian, intolerant inclinations.
Originally launched on Facebook where you can find substantial content, there are now also a sizable number of video testimonial/personal stories from ex-Democrats on the #WalkAway YouTube fan site.
Many people seem to forget that Donald Trump himself was a Democrat and independent before seeking the presidency as a first-time candidate on the Republican ticket in 2016.
On her website, civil discourse champion Vanessa Berben makes it clear that she is has not signed on with conservatives or Republicans, unlike many of her #WalkAway contemporaries who have officially made an ideological journey from left to right. But she shares their basic principles insofar as free speech is concerned.
“To vocalize any kind of dissenting opinion that doesn’t fall in lock/step with “the war for social justice’ gets us labeled a Nazi, bigot, or some other kind of racist— sometimes by our own families. So here’s my contribution to this movement. From one lifelong Democrat, here to say No More. I’m nowhere near Conservative, nowhere nar Republican, but I’m still breaking up with my party. No more rabid cognitive dissonance, no more exaltation of victimhood– I’ve chosen to #WalkAway.”

As she further explained on the video embedded below, ‘Somehow, advocating for freedom of thought has become a radical notion.”
Although Democrats and liberals here and in Europe, including blue-check Twitter, seem incapable of distinguishing between legal and illegal immigration moreover, Berben in her video presentation specifically rejected the premise that favoring legal entry into the U.S. and strong borders are in an any discriminatory.
“Being an American surpasses color, surpasses creed, it even surpasses country of origin—This is an amazing country, and I love being an American. And I love anyone who holds American ideals up so highly, that they would be willing to leave their home country to come here. I’m so for that; I’m so all about that…”

John Nolte of Breitbart News is compiling a list of what he deems “media-approved” violence and verbal threats against Trump supporters as well as the president himself and his family.
Nolte’s compilation totals 133 at this writing, but sadly the number is likely to increase as what some have deemed Trump derangement syndrome continues.
Some Trump foes seem to be triggered, in particular, by those who wear the MAGA hat in public.
It’s not just a phenomenon within the U.S. either. The above video is from Denmark where such behavior allegedly constitutes a hate crime.
Update: The number of incidents has reportedly neared 200.
Total now stands at 190. https://t.co/akWokQp1EW

Every time I sing the #NationalAnthem, I'm reminded how lucky I am to have been born in this great country. I know we have our differences, but let us never forget the sacrifice so many have made to ensure that we have the #FREEDOM to voice those differences. Happy #4thofJuly2018 pic.twitter.com/zrktaUi3gw
Appreciate @TomArnold kind words about me as a great father, husband and friend. This was a chance, public encounter in the hotel lobby where he asked for a selfie. Not spending the weekend together, did not discuss being on his show nor did we discuss @POTUS. #done #ridiculous
He has created a Facebook platform for what he calls the “unsilent minority” which is accompanied by the #WalkAway hashtag on Twitter.
Starting with his recent powerful video that went viral, Straka has created companion Facebook platforms for the The Unsilent Minority and the Walk Away Campaign for others to share their own similar messages and ideological experiences.
