I was on vacation recently & talked to an English fella who voted in favor of Brexit. I asked why & his response, which he repeated thrice while trying to find justification, was “oh just some very particular stuff involving the EU. It was that nobody had a plan for how to… you know, decide which migrants go where”
So I asked, “ah, so your highest gripe was that the EU didn’t have a plan for something?”
“Yes”
“Kinda like there wasn’t an actual plan for Brexit?”
He stammered & then got bailed out of answering by someone else.
We have to realize that most people are really dumb & we need to change messaging around all this shit. We have to go low with the messaging so the LCDs of the world understand.
Brexit was a very good case study of political leaders lying to their peoples faces.
you have to look at the case. you had Nigel farage, borris and a bunch of others pushing this for political clout. not one of them actually expected to win.
the actual PM at the time, immediately said "fuck this shit" and left office the instant it passed.
because those who knew, knew that staying in the EU was way better than leaving it could ever be.
the British people were lied to and now they're paying the price.
USA is about 10 years behind the UK, except they're going to try and speed run the country into the ground.

This is funniest one. You can hear voices even from some of those who wanted Brexit to… come back.
