    People’s lack of knowledge isn’t a great argument. The information was available but other chose to listen to the officials.

    Imagine you are laying on bed and on TV was a fire chief. They are giving a speech about fire not being a concern. Upstairs, your neighbor is yelling fire! What do you do? You seem more information to determine what is true. People have lost the skill and become extremely lazy.

    I know it sucks looking shit up all the time. Believe me, I live in the US. Our TV news media is tabloids and rating chasers, from national to local. It sucks, but the facts are still reported by hard working investigators. Do I have to cross reference owners of the companies and additional sources? Yes, but it is on me to decided what is right in my eyes and vote accordingly.

    Some voters knew brexit was bs and still voted for different reasons. 72% turnout for the vote. Meaning 28% decided they were fine either way.

    Evil prevails when good men do nothing.
