She put the “walk” in WalkAway
Great WalkAway story:
And here’s another fascinating political change story. I would say “from an unlikely source,” but after reading a good many of these stories, I’ve noticed that a not insignificant number of them are from people who don’t fit the stereotypical demographic of the right.
I suppose neither do I, although not as dramatically.
I’m not necessarily religious
You’re religious. Everyone is religious. Religion is a philosophy of behavior. Some take their religion from God, other gods, and others yet from mortal gods. Everyone has a faith (i.e. trust domain, one of four logical domains). Everyone has cultural and historical (i.e. secular) additions. Everyone has an ideological bent that reconciles and realizes their faith, religion, and secular perspectives.
You’re a Republican. You’re a conservative. I had these same values, but they were misplaced.
Deja vu. Mischaracterization and other simple deceptions are a leading cause of misclassification… misidentification.
That said, welcome to a separation of logical domains, to principles over empathy, to structure over penumbras and emanations. I presume you are all America: Pro-Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness under a constitutional framework and republican form of government.
Oh, it’s ok that you’re single and childless. The significant concern is that these choices are not normalized. After all, our relationships are a defining feature of humanity, and our Posterity is the very model of fitness.

On one hand, on the other hand, always and forever. So true. Principles matter. Reconcile.
I accept religion. I reject religion. Wait, what is religion, and so on and so forth. A lot information is lost in crude approximations: stereotypes, color judgments.
Thanks, Neo. I can reconstruct my own story taking pieces and following the themes of her story, their stories.

THAT is a walkaway, if it’s not someone trolling. And she does NOT look like someone I’d expect to do so. But she says she did, for at least this election.
One has much more hope for America, if this is legit.
Also notice the comments, too.
Both believable and inspiring.
Now, let’s just hope that there are enough people like her, and with her clear vision and determination, to reelect President Trump, to keep the Senate in Republican hands, and to take back the House.
If that can be accomplished, President Trump might have some chance to set things back on the right track sufficiently to hold back and, perhaps, to even have some chance of reversing the Leftist tide, especially if a populist Republican President or two can follow him in office.
However, if the Left wins, I fear that those who are Conservative are in for massive and comprehensive persecution–see Robert Reich’s dream (say, nightmare) for our future.

Run, not walk, away.
From that Leftist slave plantation!

Don’t miss the drag queen on ytube “walkaway”, search it.

Don’t worry, I got this. 2021 Golden Age.

It won’t matter. They can’t defeat the Ymar Son of God power.
5 years walking around the world, for breast cancer.
Wow.
American freedom – worth fighting for.
She doesn’t believe the media, she looks deeper, what is the “real story”? There’s always two sides. (Montage? ) << Getting the real story is work, and what people want is for somebody else to do the work of getting the full story. Somebody trustworthy.
The media is not.
Trump's exaggerations and bloviations that are often insulting, almost always entertaining, and include a serious indication of the direction he wants to go altho perhaps not accurately describing actual steps. Such style is anathema to the elites and elite posers.
Yet I also think she's right. Trump's fighting against excess PC might save America, and might save the world.
I support Trump. He fights.
Boy, Neo, how many of these have you watched? This one’s a little over 20 minutes, Georgia was 46 minutes, some I’ve seen are only 8 or 9 minutes. I wonder, you know, if there’s a sort of trend over time in the length of these #walkaway vids. Maybe the earlier ones were relatively short and over time, the newer walk-awayers somehow saw a need to be more thorough in their explanations, so that more time was required. Or maybe the early ones were from more disciplined speakers and the later ones have more stream-of-consciousness talkers. I don’t know. But going over all of these is such a time investment, man.
It’s too bad we can’t have a video conference channel – could do a marathon session of the “Best #walkaway Videos of 2020!” or something together. (But – the big question: who ponies up for the popcorn?)
I had a bit of a tough time with this example because the lady lost me somewhat in that whole Malaysia discussion. She also didn’t say anything about where she’d been between Thailand and Turkey. Looking at a map, I don’t wonder why that might be. 🙂 But does that mean she walked all the way around through Kazakhstan or something?
That was some walk; it was heartfelt in its initial inspiration (breast cancer), and even more inspiring in its eventual re-discovery of America. People are surprising.
I told my brother the same thing she said, about 4 months ago. Trump will win; he’s 10 steps ahead of everybody else.
Well, let’s see. The Crow Nation just endorsed Trump on behalf of the Indian Nations. So have the police associations; the Boilermaker’s / Steelworker’s unions. The support from the non-com military is there; the rural deplorable cowboys too. Isn’t that pretty much all of the Village People now? Probably explains why he’s playing their music at his rallies…..
Aggie, hold on – the Crow Nation speaks for all of the First Nations? Huh? Since when did that happen? Mohawk, Potawatomi, Lakota, Shoshone, everything in between? I’m honestly curious about this endorsement to which you refer. I have no Native connection personally, such as some folks claim in the way of ancestry, but I still have a certain personal interest in such things; so it piques my curiosity that you allude to this.
As a long term expatriate living in Western Australia who has spent some time in Malaysia this #Walkaway story makes complete sense to me. When I began returning to the US on business in the 90s I discovered Rush was articulating all the silenced inner thoughts I’d been having while trying to conform to being a good left leaning Australian academic. It had been easy at first because I came to Australia and a good American left leaning academic. Then it became more difficult as I increasingly found myself silently disagreeing, partly out of politeness to not be ‘too American’ in my adoptive country. As time went by it was increasingly clear that I was no longer left leaning. I particularly liked this #Walkaway video because it is grounded in the expatriate experience – however different.
The Crow endorsement was in September; this story doesn’t mention any other Nations.
Loved the chairman’s name.

Speculation on other endorsements might have come from here:

thank you for sharing Candie’s story, it was overwhelming to read.
I really enjoyed this. Reminds me of one of our clients who tells of studying Art History in Europe. Came back and kissed the soil. A staunch Republican. Not too many of those among our clientele.

You are quite correct, I mis-wrote implying the Crows spoke for others. The Navajo and Crow nations have endorsed, not all nations.
Aggie, thanks for clarifying – still an interesting development. I had thought it possible that there existed some kind of new First Nations intertribal council of which the Crow were in a leadership position, so wasn’t ruling out that you could be on the money.
