The "WalkAway" movement
If you haven't seen this on twitter or FB you need to be aware of the latest propaganda amplified by bots/trolls to dissuade us from voting democrat. I have made a few posts about them but realized a thread was needed to inform everyone of their agenda
One note on this thread, I will not be using # so as to not cause this to trend or aid in trending this "movement". I recommend those that reply or post about WalkAway to not use # for the same reasons.
WalkAway is a propaganda campaign that has been in the background building followers and propaganda waiting for the right moment to surface. As November nears and our momentum has been building (43 seats flipped) it has been deployed to push voters away from voting Dem.
Below are screen shots of the walkaway movement, it has gained traction in the past few days. As mid-terms get closer the attempts via propaganda and troll/bot networks to influence voters to not vote Dem will increase into an all out war to get voters to vote GOP or not vote.

I have not been able to find out who is backing or funding this movement, other than guessing, so I'm not going to post about that topic unless I have verifiable information, however, this does follow known Kremlin narratives.
We will not be able to stop the forthcoming wave of propaganda driven by bot and troll networks, but we can mitigate the damage by staying informed of this attack and getting the facts out to the voting public.
We can overcome this with persistence, countering with facts, and working together to get people to vote, continuing the momentum of flipping seats from red to blue throughout the country. November will be our biggest battle before 2020 and we must negate the propaganda and VOTE
And of course Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA ( I have posted threads on them) would be pushing walkaway. I recommend using twitter search to see how fast this is spreading, the other versions of walkaway and the bots that have mobilized in a very short time.

The GOP gives us a pittance and then...
“For those earning $1 million annually, a tax break buried in the recent coronavirus relief legislation is so generous that its total cost is more than total new funding for all hospitals"
“Someone wrongly seized on this health emergency to reward ultrarich beneficiaries, likely including the Trump family, with a tax loophole not available to middle class families. This net operating loss loophole is a loser that should be repealed"
If you have not watched the movie The Laundromat on Netflix, you need to. It's about the Panama Papers, the biggest data leak, 11.5 million documents, from the 4th largest offshore law firm in 2016.

Original story breaking the leak.

The GOP does not want to follow their own rules written and submitted by Goodlatte to Boehner PG H576 - H578 26JAN15. They only want to play by the rules when it suites their agenda including subpoenas. Facts and truth do not apply to the GOP and MAGA.

📢 45's budget proposal has massive cuts to Education, HHS, SSI, EPA and 15 other departments. Only six departments are not receiving cuts with DOD having the largest increase. This thread exposes this heartless budget designed to pay back the #GOPTaxScam at our expense.
📢45 reduced fines for nursing homes that commit abuse, fraud or have substandard facilities. This will encourage more to put profit over patients and affect the care of our infirm and elderly. This thread is to raise awareness of this system and how we can prevent it.

"the average fine for nursing homes decreased to $28,405 under Trump...down from $41,260 in 2016, former President Obama's last year in office."

The NPR article quoted by The Hill additionally states,
"Encouraged by the nursing home industry, the Trump administration switched from fining nursing homes for each day they were out of compliance as the Obama administration typically did...
As we all know Fox News is 45's propaganda outlet, but did you know they have been influencing voters since 2000? They have had 19 years to hone their craft and addict people to their style of "news" and yes I said addict. I will explain this addiction in this thread.
A little history review on voting and FOX viewers:
"Americans who say they voted for Trump in the general election relied heavily on Fox News as their main source of election news leading up to the 2016 election,"
We know the effect FOX had in 2016, but did you know they affected 2000 - 2008 elections?
"Fox News played an increasingly important role in presidential elections between 2000 and 2008. Their analysis suggests that, had the network not existed (and no similarly conservative"
