Hilarious!
Most of you (HN commentators) were bashing Britons when they decided to leave the EU (which policies they don't like), calling them backwards, xenophobic, etc.
And now you want to do the same. And perceive it as 'progressive'.
Moreover:
1. EU had been imposing unpopular polices over Britons for years. Trump administration hasn't introduced any policy yet, moreover, it hasn't formed yet.
2. Trump and Pence were _elected_ in a direct democratic elections. European Commission president and all commissioners are being _appointed_ by ruling elites.
In future political science textbooks this will serve as a prominent example of the phenomenon named 'liberal hypocrisy'.
