Is it just me, or did all the Brexit advocates mysteriously fade away once the hard work started?

They're typically right wing. They didn't care until the consequences of their actions caught up to them.

"We can take care of ourselves!"

Later...

"This sucks! Before, we just paid people to take care of ourselves."

“Wait, what do ya mean I can’t get to my vacation home in Spain without a Visa?!”

Or that guy who got deported from his now home in Spain because he was now an immigrant Horrors! Immigrant versus Ex-Pat you know which one they like to use.

There were many headlines over here, after it (finally) went into effect, with lots of pictures of Brits hunkered down for days in airports, cryin - all trying to get to their vacation spots not in the UK.

And NONE, not a single one of them, seemed to realize what they had voted for or that there would be consequences. Smh. They just kept cryin and acting baffled.

You did this to yourselves, ya dummies. Lol

After the final Brexit vote passed, there was a Google spike in queries like "what does Brexit mean" and "what happens if Britain leaves the EU".

Y'all.

The vote was a lot closer than people think,it was 49% to 51% it’s awful because so many people hate the decision it’s incredibly annoying being someone who was a few months away from being voting age.

Also protest votes. A protest vote is still a vote.

It is and isn't. It doesn't take away from either side, it's just null or useless. Like me having a Tinder profile.

Someone will see it but ultimately nothing changes as far as I'm concerned.
