I was wrong about the Democratic Party #walkaway

*NOTE* I work for daily wire now! I do a daily podcast called Morning Wire. You can find me on IG @georgiamaehowe ** I am a bit overwhelmed with the way this video has blown and i really appreciate the thoughtful comments i’ve received. i noticed a few themes in the comments and i continue to get the same questions, so i want to address them here! 1) I did not jump from blind loyalty to democrats to blind loyalty to republicans. i simply came to the realization that i am not represented by leftism (which has overtaken the dem party), and I align better with conservatism. Typically that means i prefer the republican candidate, but i have no strong party loyalty. as many of you mentioned there is plenty wrong with the GOP as well. I purposefully did not include a ringing endorsement of the GOP for that reason. 2) i have specific and compelling reasons why i am conservative vs libertarian or moderate etc. and i arrived at those reasons through a lot of introspection and research. i am less concerned about the superficial issues of today and more concerned about the enduring principles we stand on, as well as procedural adherence to our founding documents. I’ve read a lot of Burke, Scruton, Sowell, etc. and i was impressed with their arguments. i did not expound on those arguments in the video because i didnt want to babble on for hours. If you want to understand conservatism, those writers are a wonderful place to start (try sowell, hes all over YT!), or check out ben shapiro. the point of this video is not to make people conservative, but rather to explain why some people choose not to be leftist. 3) I purposefully did not discuss God because religious arguments can alienate nonreligious people, and bc it wasn’t necessary to make my points, but I did experience a parallel journey over the same period of time. Maybe someday I will make a similar video about how I came to my religious convictions. 4) i am very certain that nowhere in the video did i say “racism doesnt exist“, but if that was your impression i will clarify. racism exists, it’s an endemic human evil, and we ought to do our best to fight it any place we see it. my intention in this video was to shine light on an overlooked element of racism that is running rampant under the guise of “morality“. i think the stealthy way this type of racism works is particularly dangerous and insidious. I believe telling a child they are hated by their society and doomed to fail is the most oppressive form of all. anyone who hates racism should be up in arms about this with me. we ought to fight it as ferociously as we fight other forms of racism. 5) i am very aware of the marxist influence on society and I have been monitoring this trend for the past 2 years since becoming aware of it. it is clear to me that there is a persistent effort afoot to divide us along color lines. the true intention of this video was not to sway voters in the upcoming election, but rather to undercut the divisive marxist messaging that now pervades the west. i want people to see that ‘compassion’ run amok can be weaponized, and it can take us further from healing, not closer. the internal cancer that is marxism is much bigger and broader than this election or even this country. 6) i am not a russian bot! nor am i an actress (as flattering as that is!). the reality is i posted this video on my facebook and it blew up. trust me no one is more shocked than me. 7) this has been hard on me, socially. a lot of people i care about would prefer i take this video down and i often think about it. However, I feel like the situation were in as a country requires us to be brave and take the flack. 8) i WILL make more videos, eventually. For now find me at daily wire! 9) i love and respect a LOT of dems, and i dont want to bash them. i just wanted to make this video so people would understand other perspectives a little better. also, i have a lot of love for REAL liberals who think for themselves, even if they come to different conclusions. i dont think the dems represent them very well at the moment either. 10) I ESCAPED LA! I now live in Nashville. Email me with your recommendations!
