I don't understand how we got here. I understand that the media picked up a massive campaign to leave, because the various super-rich owners of the popular press decided Brexit was the thing to support. I understand that there were a lot of lies told and that people believed enough of those told by the Leave side that they decided to vote that way.
I don't understand how a slender majority in favour of leaving ended up with a government of people who are supposed to look out for our best interests going full-on for just about the worst possible outcome.
- derrickdirge 10y agoThe same way a slender minority forced just about the worst possible President on the American people.
- tomp 10y agoAs with Brexit so with Trump, the one side only won because the alternative was only barely, if at all, better.
