I had never heard of the "Walk Away" movement until last night.

[bif]

Wile out on an evening stroll in the neighborhood, my wife pointed out a "Walk Away" lawn sign and explained that it was to encourage liberals to walk away from their beliefs. So I commented that it basically encouraged us to become selfish assholes, eh?

How did I not know about this campaign?

[secondwind]

1. Never heard of this.

[Archae]

2. There's a black version of this...

"Blexit," run by "conservative" Candace Owens.

It's noted for being really deceptive.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. Yep. They have a couple gay people too.

I got to see it all via the Facebook page of my idiot sister-in-law who thinks her brother and I shouldn’t be married... but she loves us.

14. She's keeping a very low profile since that Blexit DC rally in Oct., 2020...

attended mostly by people who had their transportation and lodging paid for by right wing sources. Blexit has gained no traction and was nothing but a sham campaign to boost her image. Owens has remained silent since the orange toad's defeat in November, and of course since the insurrection.

She's nothing but a black opportunist who, once a Dem, was helped out of legal problems but then defected to the dark side for opportunity.

A typical black republican.

18. she just had a baby also... so busy with that. She's awful

[BannonsLiver]

3. It's just a fake social media campaign

There’s no actual movement.

[shrike3]

10. Exactly. n/t

[TheRealNorth]

15. Yes

I remember it from back during the 2016 election. Just more astroturf brought into Fakebook.

[KarenS]

4. Laughing,,,, because us Libs read the bumper sticker slogans and

obey?? Sheesh,,,,

we are more like herding cats.

[samnsara]

5. why would i lower myself to walk away from the beliefs that make me ME..?

...how presumptuous and pompous of them.

[Ohio Joe]

6. Because it's a right wingnut fantasy...

Just another delusion they have.

[Irish_Dem]

7. Walk away from being a good person to become a sociopath.

A member of the GOP crime syndicate.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

8. Considering its founder Brandon Straka was just charged with participating in the riots....

...including urging others to assault Capitol police officers in the process, I'm not surprised.

[PatSeg]

11. There was so much going on all the time

It was hard to keep up. I vaguely remember something about it, but I don't think it really caught on.

[TwilightZone]

12. Its founder was one of the insurrectionists.

20. Pretty funny!

[wishstar]

13. I would've thought it meant Walk Away from Trump Cult- much more timely and appropriate right now

[Initech]

16. Oh yeah these assholes were all over Twitter and Facebook a couple years ago.

And they're every bit as deplorable as you could possibly imagine!

[FreepFryer]

17. It's pure AstroTurf. Not a movement by any stretch of the imagination. nt

[OneGrassRoot]

19. QAnon...

I researched the Walkaway rabbit hole about a year ago and it’s a Q pipeline. The founder was arrested as part of the 1/6 attack.
