Brexit was part of the same op that gave the US Trump. It was a crazy idea. They played on the hate for Polish plumbers, the fear of Muslim men, and the longing for a past when white ppl ruled over “exotic” lands full of darker skinned people who cheerfully did menial labor. Sure, they dressed /1

4/ complaining about illegal immigrants taking all the jobs but also taking advantage of our services and welfare while polluting the gene pool. The US hasn’t had welfare since 1996, and no one here illegally can qualify for the benefits we do still have, which are paltry and mostly used by poor /4

Let’s put “The Ugly American” stereotype aside for a moment. I’m aware there’s always been a kind of anti-Americanism outside of the US. It’s usually more like a teasing for our provincialism and US centrism. It’s colored by the unfamiliarity with the size of country keeping a lot of us in here. 1/

10/ first. We didn’t know 33% of us would love fascism, nor did we expect that under certain types of existential pressure that % would rise enough to put a Trump in charge.

8/ the plan is discouraging. Lots of people don’t believe Trump could be as bad as Hitler. I’m not one of them but he hasn’t done that yet. People are waking up and mobilizing against him. The ballot box still works and should always be first. I’m sure some of you are thinking that in a gun /8

2/ It’s easier to travel to NJ from PA than PA to Italy (for ex.) A lot of us came from there in the first place which plays into that among other factors including our ridiculous lack of vacation and health insurance. We seem blind to others when others know so much about us. That’s another form/2

3/ It’s a good question. If Bruce was an embodiment of a type of ethos, a symbol to them of being in the right, on the side of good, what does it say that he unequivocally rebukes them? They will recoil and knee jerk that Bruce never represented them, that he’s never been what I’m saying he is. /3
