what we need to make brexit about

[DonCoquixote]

It is no accident that Brexit was done by a lot of angry white voters who felt shafted. It is not an accident that just liker in America, the cities voted left, the suburbs voted right.

WE know Britain is going to suffer, we need to tie home the fact that brexit and trump voters are the same, and that when you do not make a bunch of loudmouth bigots SHUT THE HELL UP, they wreck the nation.

4. and include in that

the right wing media. Fox is smelling the glory right now, as Sky news, their UK lapdog, did a lot of the damage. Heaven help Texas if they even think of secession, because the next civil war will NOT have "malice toward none, chairty towards all."

5. Exactly. It is the same mindset. Unfortunately, many on DU support Brexit as well.

This should be deeply troubling for us.

6. tothe uk Duers

especially the Duers that probably voted reain, what i say is not about you.

But frankly, if England suffers, especially if their financial sector starts leaving (it would be poetic justice if it went to Scotland) then we need to point at what happened, and say "do you want us to go down the tubes like they did?" trump could eaisly do to us what brexit did, and worse.

7. you have no idea what you are talking about

14. Brexit isn't a cry of defiance of the little guy against the corporatists & the banksters.

This the cry of bigoted, xenophobic, nationalists against the foreign horde.

It's not a victory for liberals, it's a victory for fascists.

8. Berating people is not the way to win them to your side

it only makes them dig in their heels. If you can't make a case to convince them that your way is better, you ignore them.

9. They watched the EU kick Greece around like a wounded dog.

Can't do that for years and years with all the con artists around willing to find an opportunity to exploit the situation. And I hear people tell me all the time, NOBODY votes against their own best self-interest!

Myth destroyed.

10. All Trump has to do is open his mouth.

If he comes out against Brexit even as the markets crash tomorrow, he'll look like he flip flopped on a core concept he has; that countries should be isolated and not make trade deals and that we should use tariffs to force deals (really asinine, but this is Trump we're talking about).

If he comes out for Brexit he will look even stupider because this isn't going to magically go away. Brexit is actually a very significant happening for the entire global economy. It's basically saying one of the longest and most well entrenched nation on the planet is checking out of globalism. It will not end well.

11. Brexit is a warning shot to us for November. GET OUT THE VOTE!!! GOTV!

Never underestimate white, angry, and xenophobic.
