On TikTok, a wave of Democrats are posting videos saying they’ve had enough of their party.
They’re filming themselves, nose rings and all, telling the world they’re done with the Democrats.
Why? Because of the shocking reaction from many on the left after Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Charlie, just 31 years old, was a husband and father of two young kids. He was shot in front of his family while speaking at Utah Valley University.
Most normal people who didn’t like his politics agree that no one should be killed for their views.
TikTok Tells the Story
If you open TikTok right now, you’ll see it. Tens of thousands of videos from Democrats who say, “That’s it. I’m out.”
@thebiggersthebetterHorseshoe theory strikes again. I won’t be posting political commentary moving forward because yall are too damn scary.

Some of these folks say they never liked Charlie Kirk. They disagreed with him on almost everything. Many are lifelong Democrats.
But as one former Democrat put it in his video, “The party is completely different today. Time to re-evaluate your loyalty.”
@grand_ole_evanIt’s okay to be wrong. It’s not okay to know you’re wrong and refuse to change because you care more about your own self image.
Free Speech at the Heart of It
What’s striking is how many of these videos focus on free speech.
People are saying, “If my party cheers when a conservative is silenced with a bullet, then maybe my party never believed in free speech at all.”
Here in Nevada, free speech has always been a big deal; Nevadans aren’t afraid to speak up.
Democrats cheering the death of a vocal activist, even one they don’t agree with, feels like a threat to something bigger than politics.
Closet Conservatives Step Forward
Another twist? People who quietly supported President Trump are now saying so out loud.
They’re calling this a “coming out moment.”

They say if standing against political violence means siding with conservatives, then that’s where they belong.
Some Refuse to Believe What We Are Seeing
Some say these walk-away videos are staged, or just part of a right-wing campaign. But the numbers are hard to ignore.
Tens of thousands of posts, from all kinds of people, can’t simply be written off as fake.
It’s About Right and Wrong
At the end of the day, this trend shows that ordinary Americans still have a moral line they won’t cross.
You don’t have to agree with Charlie Kirk’s views to believe celebrating his death is wrong.
And for many, this was a turning point. Now, a growing number of Democratic voters are walking away.
