I’ve been saying this since about 2017, about 18 months after the orange child rapist was elected the first time.
Any country that elects a person that’s obviously stupid, 100% corrupt, and completely evil cannot be trusted.
Boris Johnson is another shitbag of corrupt disgustingness, but not as bad americas top paedo. I’m English, and I never wanted to leave the EU but I can totally understand if the EU said “Nope” just based on bozo Boris alone.

But it’s never the whole country; usually less than 50% of voters.
And IMO (and I’d appreciate your insights, since I’m not British) Brexit is a perfect example of how easy it is to manipulate a people with targeted content mostly on social media. Of course that sort of propaganda has always been a thing, but social media put it on overdrive, and most of it is perfectly legal even for politicians during elections.
This is the point; you’re completely right. If every time a country makes a mistake they are shunned by those around them then those who are trying to disrupt progressive politics are succeeding. Johnson was elected by far fewer than 50% of the population; indeed in that election (2019) progressive parties won 52.8% of the vote, and under any decent election system we would then have had a progressive coalition. At the very worst we’d have still been within the single market and customs union, and in all probability they would have been a confirmatory referendum (which would have doubtless left us within the European Union).
However it was over 50% of voters that voted for tRump, and they knew what they were getting. So I fear the US has gone beyond a threshold.

Socialists have been saying it since NATO was created, maybe we were right all along?
