So when faced with facts, the best thing to do is to get angry about them, shoot yourself in the foot and then wait for them to happen anyway? I'm not sure I understand that logic. In fact it sounds like total madness. By that logic, if the remain campaign had been based on lying about everything, it would have been successful. When did telling the truth become wrong?
I agree it was a shit campaign by the way, not assisted by the liars (Leaver) Corbyn and (Remainer) Johnson both doing everything through gritted teeth, purely for their own future benefit........
And this isn't just about Brexit as I'm definitely not getting into that, just the argument for voting a certain way that you've just described and it happens to fit a model.
Interesting that there (again, as you've described) IS the perfect parallel with so many of those who voted for Trump. Never mind the facts, they're not working for us let's "give the establishment a kick". We'll vote for something "totally different" because it has slogans, not facts....had enough of those eh Michael!
"Take Back Control"
"Make America Great Again"
Neither mean or meant anything.
Not forgetting that Farage, Trump et al aren't just the establishment by birth and inheritance, they're also shit gangsters who only care about themselves (Johnson not included as he's just a serial bullshitter who'd be inside for defrauding pensioners and cancer victims if he hadn't been born into privilege).
Anyway, at least that attitude (get angry because don't like facts, vote for what shouty rich man says) has worked out well for everyone so far on both sides of the pond.
YAY!
At least the Americans had the chance to correct their error at the ballot box 4 years later
