If it's any solace these things are cyclical, we're going to see a tremendous liberal push back (I use the term liberal in the american sense specifically because a lot here are from the US). I just wonder how and what effect that would take.

Can this even be undone? In any case, it's so hard to tell what is really going on right now with this UK Exit story because everyone is acting—and even reporting news—based on an emotional response, as opposed to a logical response. Don't even get me started on these "Billions upon billions upon billions lost" clickbait news titles. It's hard to get a grasp on the core of the situation. I guess I better wait to hear what Bill Maher has to say.

Oh wow. This just proves that racism is alive and well.
Racism will help Trump win the US election too.
These old white supremacists need to **** off already.
I was team Leave earlier but it's kinda fun to side with Remain now that they lost.

Donald Trump won't win because, although there's A LOT of racists in America, there's not enough racists in America to vote in another racist for president. That, and America is
very fake, and there's plenty of people who would
hate to be recognized as a racist, so even some legitimate racists—the suburban soccer mom, sitting in her SUV, locking her car doors when a Black man walks by with his kid—will
still vote for Hillary Clinton as opposed to Donald Trump, to keep their image clean. America doesn't like "blatant racism." They're fine with "hidden racism." America doesn't mind if you're white and privately record an amateur video of yourself singing the n-word in a popular pop song, but they mind if you publicly and vehemently say, "No Blacks, no Muslims," et cetera. What surprised me, is how racists control the UK. That, I did not know until yesterday. I didn't know racists had that much power there. I always assumed the UK was just good ole-fashioned charmingly racist, not hardcore
"I-would-rather-watch-this-country-burn-before-letting-any-foreigners-in" racist.
That's what's really shocking.
