Will drywall support this mount with a 55" TV? null

The kit ones not include drywall anchors. Those anchors are for installing on concrete as they are concrete anchors. As fr as Installing on drywall, yes there is a way to do this. My studs were too far apart to anchor both sides of the mount to stud, so I mounted one side of the hardware to a stud and used 4 Toggler toggle bolt anchors on the other side which was overkill but I wanted to make sure it was mounted properly. Each Toggler bolt anchor can hold around 200 lbs so 4 of those on one side easily makes up for the stud. The bracket is flush with the wall and doesn't move whatsoever.

You cannot mount a device this heavy just in drywall, it has to go in the studs. The the second comment on this question; those are not drywall anchors, they are cement anchors. If you mount this to just drywall, the weight of the TV will rip the mount (not just this mount, any mount) out of the wall.

If you screw it in studs it will. If not possible i would use a hollow wall anchor like a toggle bolt

Even though the kit provides drywall anchors, I would not trust it to strongly support the weight of the TV. Wall studs should be used to secure the mount to the wall.
