Unfiltered: ‘The left practices tolerance in the most superficial ways’

On Nov. 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States — and Brandon Straka, a gay man and artist living in New York City, posted a video of his reaction to Facebook. “I was devastated. I voted for Hillary, and I was one of those people who was going on social media, crying, making videos,” says Straka.

Almost two years later, Straka posted another video that has since gone viral and spawned a movement. “I became a liberal because I am against racism, I’m against judging people based off of their sexual orientation or their gender. But what I started to see happening more and more all the time were these very same behaviors sort of in the reverse of what is stereotypical.”

Liberals finding the freedom of expression and thought away from the echo chamber of the leftists. ' course, you can always have fun and remind liberals that the president used to be a Democrat too...

Also, aliens have apparently taken over Yahoo if they're publishing this. Well worth the read and sharing.

Incessant class warfare is not a liberal value, it isn’t even an American value.

The last paragraph is spot on. I have family members that hate my guts because of - wait for it - what I THINK. This from the party of inclusion and "love trumping hate". Ultimately, Straka believes that as the #WalkAway campaign continues to grow, people will be left with two options: “Do I want to be in this different type of environment where we all don’t have to agree, but we do have to respect each other and treat each other with dignity? Or do I want to be in this other group where people are spitting on each other, throwing drinks in each other’s face, punching each other, screaming at each other, calling each other names, cutting off their parents, cutting off their friends? Which one is more attractive to you? … What group do you want to be in?”

I think the most fascinating thing is that Yahoo mailed me a link to the article. Not only did they publish it, but they’re promoting it.

Absolutely the payday paragraph of the article. The whole thing is absolutely worth the read, plus how heartening the comments are in believing that maybe, just maybe, there’s some chance of sanity survive out there.

I have members of my own family I’ve become estranged from because I’m the “Trumpbot’’ and a ‘’hater’’. Now I know how they felt in 1861.

How is it these Walkaway videos are not kicked off the internet? Is that “yet?”

I’m on the #Walkaway page. I mainly keep silent because my walkaway came in 2001, but it is heartening to see so many folks coming around and opening their minds. They don’t have to agree with Trump 100%, and respectful disagreement is okay with me. We have lost that in this country. So sad.

This guy is great! Smart, courageous, eloquent, honest and grounded in reality.

He’s going to be a force to be reckoned with. A nightmare for the Rats.
