LOL — as much as the left is trying to censure the right at universities and on social media, Americans are getting it.
It will soon become #RUNAWAY!

These #WalkAway videos on youtube are addictive. I like personal stories. People should check them out. New ones are being added daily.

Russian propaganda.

This is just one example of what they are doing to disrupt our elections.

Sowing distrust...
Sowing doubt...

So you're saying black people are too stupid to figure out by themselves that Dems have done nothing for them?
That's why they 're WalkingAway!

Dems are setting up their zombies to doubt any elections they lose.

Do you really believe everything you see on video?

Did you really think Superman could fly, also?

Do you really think the Russians are going to use people with Russian accents in their videos?

A great take on this latest social media manipulation:

“The Washington Post reports:

One of the most viral #WalkAway tweets, for example, read as the generational reverse of the “woke toddler” meme. The tweet had more than 16,000 retweets by Sunday. However, as my colleague Dave Weigel noted, the account appears to be a bot, an impersonation or both: @sofialimited’s profile picture was stolen from a book cover by someone with a different name. The account has since been suspended from Twitter. Other viral tweets on the hashtag came from real people who aren’t exactly recent converts. Another popular #WalkAway tweet comes from CJ Pearson, a teen who describes himself as ‘the left’s youngest nightmare’ on his website. His #WalkAway tweet has more than 10,000 retweets.

Stock photo images of “walkers” weren’t just a Twitter issue, either. Facebook #WalkAway supporters like conservative activist Ginni Thomas — wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas — also spread a few through her social media networks via a page called “The Citizen Mandate.” Neither of the people referenced in the posts appear to have been real.“

And another:

“A closer look at this emerging narrative—a self-described “grassroots movement” of former Democrats fleeing the party—revealed an astroturfed campaign driven by pro-Trump Twitter users and amplified by automated and Russian-linked accounts.”

In the famous words of Regina George ~ Stop trying to make walkaway happen. It's not going to happen.

Exactly, all of this.

I hit on it a few pages ago and was quickly dismissed as fake news.
