[QUOTE="Adnarel, post: 1219274, member: 52427"] I'm amazed that Britain chose to leave. It's such a big deal, and it sounds like the demographic who voted most strongly to leave is not even going to be around to deal with the repercussions, whatever they may be. This has scary implications for the results that we may or may not see this November. But I'd argue that the drum beat for this current parade of anti-intellectualism has been slowly rising in volume ever since Enron. Lower- and middle-class regular folk are tired of being smugly trodden upon by the monied ruling elite. It's no surprise that we're seeing a heyday for populism, and all of its ugly facets. [/QUOTE]
