    So will there be a right #walkaway when clear-thinking conservatives run into actual raysiss, xenophobic, nazi nutjobs, the existence of which is not something I think you're going to argue?

    There are bananas all over the place for whichever political leaning you choose. I went to lawschool with a guy who is a fucking committed libertarian ... all the way through ... no compromises. He's lived that ideology for 20 years, and we still have lunch and beers.

    People need to grow a pair of stones. You don't change your political ideology because of the bananas who claim to share it with you.

    A banana is a banana.

    It already happened. It was called #NeverTrump.

    It failed, unfortunately.

    This will too.

    I watched this and a few other #walkaway videos. If these are the people we’re losing I’m not bothered. They seem like the type of cats that would believe the earth is flat or vaccines cause autism or 9/11 was an inside job cause they saw this really compelling YouTube video. You can have em.

    TY. We'll take them.

    None of these people were ever liberal. I promise you that. They’re saying what they think liberals say.
    Racists...racists everywhere!!

    No argument. Yes, in some form or another. It might look different, but yeah, extremists of any stripe from the right or left are not welcome in our? America. Value of freedom and America's founding principles are the common denominator that trumps ideology.

    Sure. There are principles that tend to move people left and right of center on the margins, but at the end of the day it's a paper hangar's errand to paint an entire political philosophy with the fringe brush. Which is why I'm not a little girl walking away from classical conservatism and free market ideology just because there are redneck fundies who are excited about spaceforce.

    Since I don't give a fuck....I think I stand with about 81 percent of America.
