    Man, this thread is full of dickheads. Even if, say, only 30% of these people voted Remain, that’s a lot of people who deserve some sympathy. To damn a whole group of people when a substantial number share the exact same opinions as you is truly thoughtless.

    I’m a remainer in a leave-majority area, for what it’s worth. May as well tell me about the “consequences of my actions” too!

      You can feel sorry for roughly 45% of the state of TX while still staying clear of that shithole.

      No sympathy for deliberate stupidity and pride-based sense of entitlement.

      Edit: I misread OP’s comment. Yeah, for those who voted Remain, geez, sucks to be you, and I understand (source: Did not want Trump to win.)

          Oh. Sorry, I misread. You’re right.

          But anyway.

          I have a small suspicion that if Leave won, it’s because not enough Stay people go out and vote.

          And those who did vote, yeah, that sucks. But that’s how “democracy” works (in quotes because I know there was a lot of external manipulation.)

            Turnout was actually pretty good. But there was external manipulation, illegal spending, plus a ton of shifting goalposts, with no confirmation vote once the real Brexit “deal” existed. Pre-vote, people were told we’d be able to be like Norway, as unbelievable as that sounds now. Wild how a 52/48 result was taken as confirmation for the hardest Brexit possible. It truly sucks.
