It's easy because Americans are some of the dumbest humans on the face of the Earth.
A lifelong grifter who also happens to be a felon rapist told us to believe in him after already spectacularly failing....and we did.
Americans are dumb as fuck.
22% of all americans. Out of the 63% that voted, half and some voted for him. You can consider all the fucktards who voted 3rd party, or didnt vote at all as being just as stupid.
And then there's all the democrats who wanted to "teach a lesson" to dems by destroying democracy just to perpetuate the same genocide (and worse). "We did it Patrick, we save Palestine!" Jokes on them, dems didnt learn shit. Thats much more than 22% of americans, but in all fairness you said "at least 22%"
It's funny because Americans had no issue putting all the british in the same brexit bowl but now there's supposed to be nuance.
Wasn't brexit a popular vote? Meaning a popular vote?
What you said here is far too kind... to those ultimately responsible, who will be coming for other nations too now that the USA is at least out of the way and preparing to ready itself to join along with it.
It will affect everywhere on the planet, before it is through. Wherever you are located at, I suspect it is far less prepared for the onslaught to come than you seem to believe. You too may watch horrified as your very own fellow countrymen (and countrywomen) vote for your own version of it. Brexit may have been first, but it won't be the last. We all are incredibly dumb, to have effectively ignored the threat that it has posed all along. And we will pay our variety of prices, each to their own and nowhere near equal, but all paying out all the same.
(How's that for nuance?)
Since you deleted your other response I'll just say it here: I hear that you are suffering. We are too. We all will suffer - not equally, but we can do it together.
