Brexit - It is not going to happen here, Trump is not getting elected

One simple reason, our electorate is different from theirs. They are 80+ percent white. If we had similar demographics then Trump would win. (Easily I might add so we shouldn't knock them) We don't/He won't.

Also, I find it ironic, those same ignorant Brits who voted in Thatcher, leading to their erosion of jobs, now voted to leave. So basically they fucked the subsequent generations twice. Here the same ignorant racist assholes who elected Reagan are those supporting Trump in the largest numbers.

Now before anyone goes off on me for ripping on other generations, my generations was the ignorant college aged Republicans who turned out for Ronnie.
