british frantically googling what e.u. is, hours after voting to leave

[Shameless Lefty Hack]

1. Uninformed voters are a thing. They have always been a thing. They will always be a thing. Get over it.

2. Handwringing about "oh the stupid electorate! I despair for democracy!" is a little contradictory of liberal values like... believing in the wisdom of the people to make decisions about their lives, despite not being impeccably educated about the issues.

3. As someone else pointed out above, patronizing citizens and saying, "Oh, but this is the SMART way to vote. I know because I'm smarter and better educated than you." is exactly how Remain lost, is exactly why Trump has a chance in America, is exactly why Berlusconi stayed in power in Italy (well that, and owning the press).

4. We have no idea who was googling that or how they voted or if they voted. If we did that would be scary.

5. Brexit is a complicated process. Claiming that leaving a free trade zone will just be unmitigatedly AWFUL is pretty simplistic. Also, for all the lefties here claiming this: shame on you, bro. Protectionism is a good thing for working people.

6. It's pretty reasonable to be Euroskeptic. It's not really democratic, it's certainly not transparent, and really multinational unions are kinda weird as is.
