This is crazy.
When did humans go to war with other humans over the luck of the draw of being born in a privileged country?
It is sickening.
Anyone who voted for Brexit and anyone who voted for Trump are bigoted fools.

What also doesn't help is when they say only the dumb votes for Trump. It's a pathetic argument and says more about the person saying it.

"Today, voters faced the unpalatable choice of filling in the circle for a party of capital, lodging a protest vote for a Green Party utterly disconnected from American workers, or supporting a puzzling Libertarian candidate.
To put it bluntly, no major political party represents your interests or those of your friends and family. The Democratic and Republican apparatuses appear impermeable to change from below, make little effort to mobilize people between elections, and routinely implement policies that hurt ordinary Americans.
The fact that working people lack a real political voice is no accident. The peculiar nature of US politics is inseparable from battles between elites and workers; in many respects it’s the result of the Right’s past defeats and the strength of US capital. Unlike many other democracies, we don’t have a labor party to represent the interests of working people. Instead of a political system in which conscious working-class political action plays a formative role, we have two parties beholden to the prerogatives of big business. In this system, demands for equity and justice for ordinary people are drowned out or ignored.
This state of affairs isn’t exactly new. If the past year’s electoral circus showed anything, it’s that Americans are sick of the parties of capital and their broken promises. But the distance between being fed up and real change is vast. We can’t change the political morass by force of will alone. Deciding to make the moral leap together toward a better politics is simply not enough."

Deary me. Couldn't be less accurate.
I'm absolutely no fan of the Clinton creature, but I never thought for a minute we'd be waking up to a Trump presidency. They'll never let him take office
No. Stop painting millions of people with your view. Of course some are, but likewise there are plenty of remain and Hillary supporters are fools themselves.
Just because something hasn't gone your way, it is not ok to show what is essentially racism towards the people you accuse of being bigoted and racist.

Not a problem
The Founding Fathers set up the Constitution and thus the Country to be A Republic first (eg not an absolute monarchy ruled by George III) then a Democracy...but didn't have Universal Suffrage until 1920

Genuinely mate, have a bit of a read. He's a total moron for compromising his principles and going for Leave but even those in the FO who expected him to crash and burn have been seriously impressed already. In fact you could go as far as to say it's bloody fortunate that at a time like this we've got a secret Remainer with a bit of talent going across the water for negotiations
The world isn't leaning to the right, it's running full-on to embrace it. It is utterly terrifying. I don't want to live in a world ruled by fear, loathing, and a crippling longing for a past that never existed.

My Mrs called Brexit even after the referendum day polls showed Remain as a clear leader. And last night she called this despite the predictions going with Clintion.
Reckons it's a vote by the common man against establishment because they're fed up not being listened too. Nothing to do with politics or policies. She may have a point.
I asked when Everton will next win a trophy and she just looked at me like I was mad.
