Well Watermark, this just makes me more conservative. And i don't mean the reactionary, nativist right (Trumpism). I mean more conservative as in I reject even more strongly the left-wing populism as exemplified in this country by Bernie Sanders.
What do you think would happen if Sanders took power, got his way, and for instance, "broke up the banks"? Anyone reading his infamous Daily News interview should have been shocked and alarmed that the fool knows nothing about 1) how to go about it, and 2) the ramifications of such an action.
For me, and I know I will have so few who agree (here, where measured thoughtfulness and sanity are in short supply), this is a referendum, if you will, on direct democracy and both left and right wing populism.
Did you know there was a young moron on the BBC pissing his pants and actually stating "I voted to Leave but I never thought it would actually happen, now I'm scared"? That the BBC has found morning after "what the f did I do?" to be a not-unusual feeling? That the UK Leavers actually believed they would have time to dither about, "negotiate" and hold the EU hostage, but the EU told them today, "you wanted out, pack your bags and get the eff out now"?
The mediocre white males who post here join the mediocre white males everywhere in their con on the rest of us that they are "experts" and know what in hell they are doing. But they don't. That means Trump, but that also means Bernie.
And that is that and will enrage just about everybody.
