Trump and Putin supported Brexit ...

[uponit7771]

... that's about all I need to know about it.


UK has a 5% unemployment rate and a growth of 7.5% since 08 when the EU is 1% since 08...



tRump and Putin supporting Brexit... overly simplistic but sets the context for me



Your take?

1. Putin didn't support Brexit. Read his statement. He was very careful to stay neutral.

But even if he did, you're using the logical fallacy of 'guilt by association'.

2. Nah... I see the people who supported and the people who pushed it in the UK and don't see

... the fallacy but moving to a logical side relative to the characters who headed the support of this movement.

Hitler liked it I automatically hate it until I found out way...way... way more details about it...

3. The EU just doesn't have the necessary democratic structures to represent the will of the people.

So in the end, it came down to trust.

And a majority of Brits decided they didn't trust the EU.

5. unnn, sounds like a good amount of brits didn't trust the immigrants vs the EU. Their economy

... has grown 7.5% since 08 and they're at 5% UE3 rate... they're not growing at 12% so fuck everyone else?

Cities voted to stay, rural voted to go... looks like it breaking down in the same political lines as it would in the US.

I don't think its overly reflexive to go with the stay side ...

I'm not adverse to looking at the go side but it aint looking good so far

4. I don't let Trump and Putin do my thinking for me.

If you are automatically against anything they support, then they define your thinking.

Look at an issue logically and completely. Come to your own conclusion regardless of what others think.

6. This is false on its face, I look at character (something Clinton didn't do during IWR vote) of thos

... those who support something and if their character is stank I tend to give their issues a double take.

Nothing reflexive about that

7. Trump doesn't think enough for me to consider is opinion at all.

I could care less what his position is.

He is so stupid and uninformed, I don't give him the respect to consider his opinion.

8. tRump wasn't the only person mentioned, Putin wasn't all that neutral either... he's always into the

... screw over relative to USSR.

Oh, and Obama was against it... I'll prolly mention that in the OP too
