Hairdresser Brandon Straka from New York City started a movement on Facebook and other social media sites that became viral. In a video, he explained why he was leaving the Democratic Party and this has quickly morphed into a major force on social media and beyond.

In his video which is titled “#WalkAway Campaign – Why I left liberalism & the Democratic Party,” Straka explains that the movement is “dedicated to sharing the stories of people who can no longer accept the current ideology of liberalism and what the Democratic Party has become.”

“Once upon a time, I was a liberal. Well, to be honest, less than a year ago, I was still a liberal. I reject a system which allows an ambitious, misinformed and dogmatic mob to suppress free speech, create false narratives, and apathetically steamroll over the truth,” he says. “I reject hate.”

“These are the reasons why I became a liberal. And these are the same reasons why I am now walking away.”

And, it only takes a spark to get a fire going. Since Starka posted the video, many others joined and shared their reasons to abandon the Democratic Party.

I decided to #WalkAway from the “plantation” when I realized the dems do not want to see a better America for minorities, I #WalkAway when I realized for years I was voting against my own self interest — coffeehousegypsy (@coffeehousgypsy) July 1, 2018

The Democratic Party is the party of slavery. The party of Jim Crow. The party of segregation. The party of the KKK. Democrats walked away from black folks long ago. Now, it’s our time to #WalkAway. pic.twitter.com/tvhk5Qa5Qp — CJ Pearson (@thecjpearson) June 30, 2018

I was a liberal for 35 years, this abomination created by the Democrats/Socialists/Marxists must be destroyed, just #WalkAway — Inmate Blksheep (@Blksheep143) July 1, 2018

#WalkAway i DID, in 2016!!

And i haven't looked back, They've become so divisive, and hateful to everyday Americans, today just having an opposing view makes you a NAZI!!

The left have become DISGUSTING…WALK AWAY!! — Me Me (@BeedleMr) July 1, 2018

#walkaway I freed myself from the plantation called the Democratic party. I believe in equal rights and opportunities but not equal outcomes. I believe that logic and reasoning must supersede emotions when making legislative decisions. That's why I decided to #walkaway. — Gordon James (@GordonJames10) July 1, 2018

#walkaway Thank goodness for the #WalkAway movement. America has gone batsh*t crazy due to the far left hijacking of the liberal/Democrat party. We used to be about love, peace and tolerance and now we are about hate and forcing others to think, speak and behave a certain way. — Gordon James (@GordonJames10) July 1, 2018

An impeachment without evidence of a crime is really just a coup. Progressives riot, target polic, suppress free speech and, with impeach 45, wanting to overthrow our legally elected government. The Democratic Party has stopped caring about democracy. #walkaway — benmeekhof (@benmeekhof) July 1, 2018

#walkaway After seeing my neighbor's "Stop Trump's HATE" bright orange sign in his window I did some deep thinking and research to find actual evidence of Trump being a hateful person and couldn't find it. That was one of my many wake up calls to #walkaway. — Gordon James (@GordonJames10) July 1, 2018

Everything the extreme left has done has backfired. And they lack the wherewithal to understand their narrative is self-destructive. Liberalism has exposed the truly evil. The same people who preach about love, unity, and anti-racism are the EXACT same people spreading hate, division and blatant racism, even against their own races. They are the epitome of narcissistic sociopathic hypocrites!

So, I am so happy this is finally happening! Don’t be afraid to #WalkAway from the Democratic Party. This movement is quite remarkable!
