Brexit and Trump was more about actual feelings rather than facts, the entire phenomenon of this "outrage against globalisation" whilst running into the hands of corporatists is absurd.
Farage & Trump are not working class regular people by any stretch of the imagination and the fact that they've managed to posture themselves as champions of the regular man is laughable
It's always the same narrative of these "evil globalists who have outsourced jobs to 3rd world countries" but then the very same people that are targeted with this message (working/middle class) will go ahead and unwittingly vote for cuts on welfare provisions (THAT THEY BENEFIT FROM) and allow the rich to hide their wealth through tax havens. For god's sake you have Steve Mnuchin and all sorts of wealthy multi-generational fukks within Trump's cabinet
If we're talking about the EU, honestly the UK benefited economically more within it than outside of it.
Also, don't get your hopes up about less foreign interferences - Trump is gunning for war with Iran, he's not as isolationist as you think and he's strongly pro-israel
If we're being honest, the anti-globalisation essentially boils down to outrage over immigration
I'm not saying that anything will change, I'm not saying that Trump was better or not. I'm only saying that these guys were voted in because ppl are hoping for change. and going with the same ol shyt is guaranteeing NO CHANGE. so ppl would rather hope for change(even with slim chances) than zero change.
I'm not going to get in to what is right or not, cuz ppl can argue all day on what is right or wrong tot hem, its subjective. I'm just saying ppl wanted change....and got it. Now it's just wait to see if the change REALLY happens(less likely) , or if it was just another ploy (more likely).
It's like living with a girl that you don't like anymore, hoping that she's gonna change. you can wait it out, maybe she will change. or you can go for a new girl with hopes that she will be different. she may be, or you may just realize that all bytches are the same and you are fukked either way you go lol.
