in your dreams, don. America, please take this as a threat.
Voters in the UK did more than reject the European Union and topple their pro-EU Prime Minister David Cameron in a referendum Thursday.
They also set off a cascade of events that could spark global economic chaos, remake the Western world, reverberate through November's presidential election and challenge U.S. security for years to come.
The referendum campaign -- just like the U.S. election -- has boiled with populist anger, fear-mongering by politicians, hostility towards distant political elites and resurgent nationalism, and exposed a visceral feeling in the electorate that ordinary voters have lost control of the politics that shape their own lives. Its success raises the question of whether those forces will exert a similar influence in America in November.

(21,317 posts)Or the Trans-Pacific Partnership. It could be that the era of big trade deals is receding. Some progressives might even think that would be ok, as these deals were primarily to the benefit of trans-national capitalists, and harmed the working classes. Others would fear that it could represent a xenophobic turn, in countries in general, and in the west in particular. Both interpretations could be true - they don't necessarily contradict each other.
