Fun fact: the US ambassador to the UK is a campaign donor who ran cnet.com for a while and says he hates british food. But he is a descendant of John Winthrop, who founded the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

Trump is on record saying he supported the Leave, and at the same time admitted not knowing much about it. As long as the Democrats drive home the fact that Trump supported something that killed the economy, and has a history of awful economic decisions, then they should be able to come out on top.

On the other hand, nothing matters. :(

Because it shows you can win with crazy baseless nationalism and racism against all logic and reason (which is basically Trump's campaign)

In reality though the coming UK economic meltdown might convince people that this track is bad.

This was a definite bonus to the anti-Trump argument in November. It may take 2.5-3 years for the UK to fully exit from the EU, but as we see with Morgan Stanley getting ready to relocate 2000 positions from London to Dublin and Frankfurt, the pain is going to set in very soon. Being able to witness others suffer the repercussions of the nationalism that Trump is pushing for, will be a cautionary tale to people looking for change. Change is not necessarily going to be positive.

It's dumb that opposing this means political suicide if there's a possibility that the general populace doesn't even really want it

It sounds like a significant number of voters just pulled the ANGRY lever, not that they had an opinion on the EU, really

I kind of wonder how many people pulled the lever for LEAVE while not believing the experts and the warnings of their country's allies and then woke up this morning to see that the pound plummeted and the markets took a hit and thought, "Oh holy gently caress maybe they were right after all"
