Candace Owens Launches Blexit Revolution in Los Angeles: A Declaration of Independence from the Democrat Party

January 22, 2019

Candace Owens brings the Blexit movement to downtown Los Angeles, drawing families and supporters from across minority communities who are ready to break free from decades of Democratic Party allegiance. Lines wrapped around the corner as Hispanic and Black Americans gathered to declare their independence from what Owens calls a party that has never served them. With Latino voices joining the movement and parents bringing their children to witness history, Blexit is transforming from a political statement into a multigenerational revolution that challenges minorities to question their political loyalties and embrace economic opportunity over fear-based narratives.

A Movement Goes Live in Los Angeles

Candace Owens stood in downtown Los Angeles, surrounded by a crowd that stretched around the corner, as the Blexit movement came to life in one of America's most diverse cities. Families pushed strollers, fathers held their toddlers' hands, and supporters from Black and Latino communities gathered despite a major game happening simultaneously in the city. The turnout spoke volumes about the hunger for political independence among minority voters.

Owens embraced her new title as "Miss Blexit," declaring that the movement represents far more than a political campaign. This is a declaration of independence, a revolutionary moment where minorities refuse to accept that they are somehow separate from the American dream.

Latinos Join the Revolution

One of the most striking developments at the Los Angeles event was the overwhelming response from the Latino community. Owens shared her vision and was met with an enthusiastic response from Latino supporters who insisted on being included in the movement. "Put us in Blexit, we're the L," they told her, and the movement expanded to embrace this crucial demographic.

The interviews revealed a consistent theme: people are tired of being told how to vote based on their ethnicity. One Hispanic father, holding his toddler son, explained that he came to the event because he wants to see a freer America for his child. This multigenerational perspective captures what Blexit truly represents—not just changing votes in one election, but transforming the political legacy passed down to future generations.

Permission to Support Trump

When asked about Blexit's role in advancing President Trump's agenda, particularly as he fought to secure funding for the border wall while facing opposition from Nancy Pelosi, Owens identified a critical function of the movement: giving people permission to outwardly support the president.

"People have been hiding and nervous to say something," Owens explained. "Everyone that I know is doing better under this President than they were under Barack Obama, but we're so shamed. We're told that we're not allowed to like Trump."

The power of gathering in rooms filled with like-minded individuals cannot be understated. When people realize they're part of a larger movement, that they're not alone in their political evolution, it inspires them to join the fight. Owens characterized the current political landscape as an ideological war where minority voices must assert themselves rather than remain silent out of fear.

Breaking the Fear Factor

Owens addressed the decades-long relationship between minority communities and the Democratic Party with unflinching directness. For 50 years or more in some cases, Black and Latino voters have supported Democrats, despite what Owens sees as a troubling historical record.

"They enslaved us, they lynched us," Owens stated bluntly, referring to the Democratic Party's historical positions. Her message to minority voters is simple: you have permission not to support that party anymore.

The Blexit philosophy doesn't demand that people immediately switch from left to right. Instead, it encourages something more fundamental: questioning why you stand where you stand. Owens believes Americans have the authority to examine why they've remained married to a political ideology that, in her view, has never served them throughout the entire history of the United States.

The movement aims to shift the political conversation from fear to education. The left's message, according to Owens, boils down to: "Vote for us or else everybody's going to die. Vote for us or you're going to be back on slave ships." Blexit offers an alternative—educate yourself, make your own decisions, and become part of a political dialogue based on ideas rather than intimidation.

The Vision for Success

Looking beyond the 2020 election, Owens outlined what success looks like for Blexit. The ultimate goal isn't simply changing vote totals or flipping districts. Instead, she envisions political parties competing based on good ideas rather than scarier narratives.

In Owens' vision of success, political parties would recognize that minority votes are never guaranteed. Communities would pay attention to actual issues and policies rather than accepting party allegiance as an inherited identity. Both parties would have to earn support through substantive proposals rather than emotional manipulation.

The movement also aims to expand beyond rallies and events into educational institutions. Owens expressed her desire to see Blexit groups pop up on college campuses, where she believes students are being miseducated about politics, history, and their own interests. Campus chapters would continue the discussion and debate actual ideas rather than emotions.

As families filed into the Los Angeles event, as parents brought children to witness this moment, as Latino and Black Americans stood together declaring their independence from political orthodoxy, Blexit demonstrated its potential to reshape minority political engagement. The revolution Owens envisioned is no longer just a concept—it's a movement with real people making real decisions about their political future and the legacy they'll leave for their children.

[01:53] we're so shamed we're told that we're

[01:54] not allowed to like Trump and I think

[01:57] now when you get into a room and you

[01:58] realize there are so many people that

[01:59] think just like you that you are a part

[02:01] of this revolution uh a part of of this

[02:04] declaration of independence and inspires

[02:05] you to go out and be a part of the fight

[02:08] you know this is an ideological war and

[02:10] um it's so important that we assert

[02:12] ourselves in it you're taking away the

[02:14] Fear Factor listen people have voted for

[02:17] us supported the Democratic party you

[02:19] know 50 years in some cases but it is

[02:22] true right they enslaved us they lynched

[02:24] us um and and you're here to just to

[02:28] just to just tell them that they have

[02:30] permission that's exactly right to not

[02:32] support that part that's right and and

[02:33] you don't you don't need to run from the

[02:35] left and go to the right you know uh but

[02:37] you should question why you are standing

[02:39] where you're standing uh you have you

[02:40] you have the authority to question uh

[02:43] why we are married to a party and a

[02:45] political ideology that has never served

[02:48] us not in the history of the United

[02:49] States has the L ever served black

[02:52] Americans or Latino Americans and that's

[02:54] where it starts educate yourselves make

[02:56] your own decision become a part of a

[02:58] political dialogue and not a fear based

[03:00] dialogue which is what the left wants

[03:01] vote for us or else everybody's going to

[03:03] die vote for us you're going to be back

[03:04] on slave ships um and that's what today

[03:07] is really all about Beyond 2020 what

[03:10] does success for vxa look like in your

[03:13] eyes it it looks like uh political

[03:15] parties that are actually competing

[03:17] based off of good ideas uh not scarier

[03:20] narratives and that's what it looks like

[03:22] it looks like they know that our vote is

[03:24] never guaranteed that we are going to

[03:25] pay attention to the issues um it looks

[03:28] like seeing this movement also be

[03:29] galvanized on campuses because as we

[03:31] know we're we're being miseducated and

[03:34] and seeing lexit groups perhaps pop up

[03:36] on college campuses I just want to make

[03:38] sure we continue the discussion um and

[03:40] that we debate the actual ideas and not

[03:43] emotions
