Simplest way to explain it in americanese: Brexit happened because British MAGA’s voted for it. An older generation and less-informed younger folks believed in British exceptionalism/history of empire without taking into consideration the fact that the empire was long gone and founded on the brutal exploitation of indigenous peoples across the world. They blamed european (polish) and African immigrants, and regulators in Brussels for their problems. They were sold a false bill of goods by charismatic politicians who couldn’t back it up. Now they’re paying the price and they will for a generation or more.
