      They also need to thank themselves. They voted Brexit. They voted May. They voted Johnson. And they voted Johnson in a landslide

      So in a process lasting over 3 years at three different points they had the chance to consider, if the path they are on is the right path. And despite everyone telling them it is not, they continued and they cheered on.

      Everything that happened since Brexit was perfectly predictable and extensively warned about. The british people knew exactly what they wanted and they kept wanting it. It doesn’t matter, if they now change their mind about the Torries. It will last for a legislature and then they will be back to wanting to harm themselves to do whatever the british equivalent is to “own the libs”. Only when they take responsibility and accept, that they weren’t conned by some genius manipulator, but happily went down this path, only then they can learn to better their country.

        Like many issues globally, this is mainly because the world is helt hostage by the biggest demographic, which is still the baby boom generation. It’s becoming smaller but also way more conservative.

        So in lieu of making fun of the Britons who fell victim to this, one should politically engage younger generations to vote. They don’t have the numbers yet, so every vote counts.
