    The sad thing is that politicians in Britain have been using the EU as a distraction and a scapegoat for decades. Brexit was the price of that stupidity.

        It didn’t start in the 90’s. Pushing ignorance predates the formation of the United States. What you’re referring to is the successful fight back by the right that started after education started succeeding in freeing people from the historic ignorance.

        The right thought they were going to get people who could build better weapons through education. When they realized that they were also getting reasonable, compassionate people who could feel empathy, they decided it wasn’t worth the cost.
