Wow. I guess the US isn't the only country with low information voters...

Did the U.N. suddenly disappear or become the E.U. or something ? Another... ahem... Mandela-Effect ?

Should realize that things that trend on net are more likely driven by younger generations...lawl. Specially Twitter. Had I not been a DJ I'd never had touched Twitter. Twitter is mostly the Stay-ers

The people MOST concerned on leaving EU are those that have never known anything different. Probably didn't even know it could be left. Again that falls more on younger generations with a sprinkling of the expats using economically weaker countries stuck in Euro currency to use to live but still collect services and benefits of retirement. Goes along with 100 searches for Irish Passport.
It is not buyer's remorse of elderly country bumpkins and the middle class blue collar who strongly came out and had looked over what they disliked. It wishful thinking for the losing side to think that suddenly the Brexiters wil have a 30% change before the 50 is enacted. The people who were old enough to vote in the 70s to join the Eu in its present form I'm sure know at least on surface what EU is.

I'm Murican and can see at least that much. people were so complacent in the polled "win" they didn't see what will effect them if they didn't win. Cameron bailing spooked the herd.

Twitter often censures Milo Yiannopoulos, it would be no surprise for it to be a strong site for remainers.

I guess these people missed this video:

CNN has been talking about how terrible Brexit is and how it will ruin everyone's 401ks and throw people out of their homes and cost jobs and all kinds of nonsense.

They have a Dow Jones counter on the screen so that everyone can see in real time exactly how far its gone down. To help increase general economic panic, I suppose.

Kerry also just said that "we defeated DASH" while speaking about how awesome the British and Americans are and how we're BFFs forever and ever. Um...okay.

I am frankly surprised that there hasn't yet been a mention of merging the EU and the US. At the very least, converting the dollar to euro or vice versa.

The banksters and their globalist/NWO friends seem to be really really spooked by Brexit. They seem to be pulling out all the stops to "punish" the UK, including fomenting/creating internal divisions and pitting Brits against each other. I wonder if Trump wins in November and decides to flip the bird to the banksters what they will try to pull. Their media outlets have been constantly pushing the idea that the world is ending, while warning Americans not to vote for Trump.

It doesn't mean voters did that. Especially if it was after it was done. Could be people who didn't vote and youngsters making up most of the numbers.

Actually most young people voted to remain.

Hi founder.

I mean people too young to vote.

Probably all millennials that voted remain or those that didn't vote. Good thing not enough older people have died off in the UK to make it a permanent member of the EU. The vote was just in time!! !

I think the remain camp is desperately manouvering to try and stop it going through so any media reporting on the issue shouldn't be taken at face value. The whole thing just reminds me of Yes Minister.

So, this is how you will rationalize if Trump wins and wrecks everything.

God, I simply cannot believe some people's capacity for self deception.

Trump is wreckess and stupid. If he gets elected, it will be its own punishment.

I really wish all you Trump people could move to Texas and secede. Put Trump in charge and have at it. At least then, innocent people woudn't get hurt.

As it is, we'll all get what you guys deserve when it goes to hell.


PS

When EVERYTHING has to be a conspiracy in order to explain your world view, it's time to step out of the echo chamber.

The actual number of people making those searches likely wasn't over a few thousand – out of a country of 65 million. And there's no way to know who they were; could be mostly schoolchildren. But it's written up in a way that suggests that most Leave voters are mentally deficient – because Narrative.

The Republic of Texas ...which was a SOVEREIGN NATION (not a colony) that joined Union jut before the war, it was not the border used today. The crying in Colorado, especially Denver and wailing in liberal Albuquerque New Mexico would fill the basin into an ocean. Not sure how Rawlings WY would like being a "border town". And chances are Arizona would go with her. Not sure about Utah.

I wont need any justification to vote Trump. Hillary I know will do evil. If Trump ends up no better.... least I can feel I almost escaped the lions to live before the hyena finished me off.

What are you talking about? The UN is still what it has always been: a world-wide international organization which tries to resolve international disputes without war. It hasn't gone anywhere, and although the EU is a part of the UN they are and always have been very different things.

United Nations (UN)

European Union (EU)

I heard one guy from the UK, say that this proves there needs to be a maximum age of 50 to vote. Because after that you are no longer voting on things that will affect you, but rather things that will affect future generations. Not a bad idea really.
