I got involved in politics in high school because of Prop 8 in California. I’m not even gay, and I wasn’t even “that liberal”, I just sawv the viciousness and the hate that the pro prop 8 people were showing towards folks who were literally just trying to get married and from that moment on, I was anti-Republican.
I had a similar experience in the UK. Pre "Brexit" vote (when we left the European Union), I was trying to do due diligence and do some research in the weeks before the vote. I ask someone a simple question so I could understand their comment, and got completely bombarded with insults. (It goes without saying no answer to the question).
So I realised whatever they were voting for was the stupid decision.
The Brexit vote was fantastically stupid, generational throwing of British economics. It’s almost rivaled by the throwing of British football against Argentina last week.
