  Prepare for Bre-entry
context: After finding out how much of a sweetheart deal they had, I can only continue to wonder why? >
  
  Basically in the UK the news just skewed it all towards "Kicking out all foreigners". Of course the racist aging population ate that shit up and voted to leave. >
  
  I remember going into work the day after and seeing my Asian coworker get told to go home four times in one shift. 
  She was clearly not from the EU, so if they had one brain cell between them, they'd have realised that Brexit made literally no difference to her. But overt racists aren't renowned for their intelligence, I guess. >
  
  A big % of the british asian community voted for brexit. >
  
  Not true. Asians and nearly all minorities voted against Brexit by a considerable higher than average margin. You may be thinking of certain specific places and some early inaccurate news / polling which were later corrected. >
  
  I mean, I guess by some metrics 33% counts as a "big %" but your own source shoes Asian Brits voting nearly 2 to 1 in favor of remain. >
  
  1 in 3 voted brexit, that's a big amount. >
  
  Or to flip this around: every non-white demographic voted 2:1 (or very close) in favour of Remain. 
  A 2:1 majority is sufficient to accomplish basically anything in most democracies, even where a simple majority isn't deemed sufficient as a mandate. >
  
  lol get BREcked >

  The right has some messed up policies, but they are good at selling them. >
  
  Why are the right so much better at that? It's so frustrating. >
  
  It's because the right understands what the left never seems to get. 
  
  
  Most people do not get engrossed in global, national, or regional politics
  
  
  Most people dont plan. They are just trying to work their 9-5 until the weekend so they can either party or relax with their family.
  
  
  Most people, even though they are barely getting by, are still happy the way things are, because they understand it and they can envision their future.
  
  
  Most people fear change because it means the future they envisioned is different
  
  
  Ever hear the song "AA" by Walker Hayes? Go read the lyrics. This is most people, the majority of the population... just trying to keep their daughter off the pole and their son out of jail, trying to make a little love and bring home enough money to buy their wife some Levi's. People are not complicated. The idea that everyone is a racist or everyone has some grand desire to screw over others, it's all baloney. The reality is a lot more apathy.
  But the left doesn't get any of this, because for whatever reason, the left tends to attract people who are not as apathetic so they dont get apathy.. Policies are always framed around how they will help some future version of you, or help the population aggregate. That is not what most people care about. The average person wants something that will help them today in a measurable way, not 12 months from now as part of a collective. >
  
  Tldr most people are small minded and selfish >
  
  Wrong. You obviously don't understand anything about what I posted. This attitude is exactly why the left so often fail to get their point across, the attitude that anyone who prioritizes their current urgent needs is "small minded".
