Conservatives, who have been relentlessly branded as “sexist,” “racist,” “homophobic,” “xenophobic,” “nazis” by the left and the mainstream media, have “warmly embraced” him, Brandon Straka, the gay former progressive who founded the #WalkAway campaign told The Gateway Pundit.
But the left, on the other the hand, he argued, continue to demonstrate intolerance, dishonesty, hypocrisy and bigotry.
“I haven’t experienced [discrimination] at all since I’ve become a conservative, which is a transition that has been about a year and half in the making – I’ve been warmly embraced,” he explained during the Dummycrats movie premiere in Washington DC.
“I hear from Americans all over the country, they send me messages of support and encouragement and they tell me how much they love the Walk Away campaign that I’m doing. I feel like I’ve been very warmly embraced. Which has not been my experience dealing with the left since I’ve had my conversion.”
When asked how he’s been received by his friends on the left, Straka noted, “I don’t think I have any leftist friends.”
The Walk Away campaign will hopefully encourage all Americans to “vote red on Nov 6.,” Straka said.
“This is so important to vote – even if you are someone who has just walked away, it’s okay if you are not a Republican, it’s okay if you don’t know exactly where you fit right now – but on Nov. 6 of this year you have to get out and vote and you have to vote red. You have to vote red, because a non-vote is a vote for a Democrat, and a vote for a Democrat right now is a vote for socialism, it’s a vote for communism, it’s a vote for censorship, it’s a vote for illegal immigrants over American citizens.”
“The Democrat Party wants you to believe that due to the color of your skin, due to your gender, due to your sexual orientation due to your educational background – where ever you come from—that you cannot succeed because the system is rigged against you,” he argued. “That the system is rigged to only favor men, white people, heterosexuals and that is not true – it simply is not true.”
Straka released a video that went viral on May 26 titled, “Why I Left The Democratic Party,” in which he details his transition from progressive to conservative. Over the last seven months, thousands of former progressives have joined the #WalkAway campaign, sharing their own stories on social media.
Just weeks before the midterm elections, on October 26 – 28, the first #WalkAway march is slated to take place in Washington, D.C.
