[h=3]Where We Go One, We Go All[/h]The #WalkAway former Democrats are a growing movement. They are heartened that the right, while admittedly not nearly perfect, are at least open-minded. They’ve noticed shifts in the right which appeal to their millennial sensibilities. They see some form of embrace and camaraderie which lets them know they, at least, might be heard. Whereas those they left behind, former Democrat colleagues, have stopped being their friends and have even become their mortal enemies. They resent and detest this type of herding and fear-mongering. They prefer the moderate right, or to be independent or not affiliated. They have walked away from the Democrat Party.
We, on the right, should not think this is because we held our tongues, or that we are martyrs or more civil. Instead, the #WalkAway former Democrats noticed that even though some on the right are rough and coarse, they still make more sense than most of the so-called leftist intelligentsia. The right has good reason to celebrate, not because we were pious or meek, but because we were factual and tough. The #WalkAway former Democrats, being rational and tough enough to walk away, admire this more than anything.
So please, welcome #WalkAway former Democrats with open arms. Embrace them as new members. Converse and learn together. Yet, do not make the mistake to think that they want to see how well mannered you are. They did not come to respect the right for manners but rather for facts over feelings, toughness over weakness, sanity over psychosis.
What is the result? More Democrats are leaving their party for the right, or choosing to be independent than Republicans are leaving the right. Therefore, the 2018 midterm elections could mean fewer leftists in Congress, and eventually a Trump 2020 victory.
Perhaps you remember the Democrats saying, "the Republican Party is dead" back in 2008? Let us not become arrogant and make the same mistake to assume the Democrat Party is dead. Let us always work towards being factual and tough, and attract new people to our ideas.
