Nope, it wasn't a bad dream. Country still fucked

Oh and 2tn wiped off the markets.

(I should get off the internet, I'll just get angrier & more depressed...)

EU Referendum: #NotInMyName trends as country wakes up to Brexit (3 million of us who couldn't vote. THAT WOULD HAVE SWUNG THE VOTE. Not to mention the young people. Both my 14 and my 17 year old are MILES more informed than the average adult.)



Remember that time Nigel Farage said 52-48 votes should lead to second referendum?
(I think I hate Nigel Farage more than is entirely healthy...)

Oh, and these ones hit close to home...

And finally: 26 Brexit Tweets Guaranteed To Make You Laugh, Cry, Or Probably Both

(Cry. Again.)

ETA: Unlike Trump, Republicans Only Supported The Brexit After The Vote.
OK, Republicans. NOW IT'S PERSONAL!!!

I wanted to use this, but I fear the stinging force of the rebuke would be lost on Brits:

Och. Being from the States, that definitely stings.

And it is utterly, horribly the truth.

Owls just showed me these, and am now feeling slightly better about the world:

Ahh, that makes me feel better, too. Gosh, I miss him! Think my kids would have been better to have had him to watch while growing up...

UGH...heard our Repugs are now weighing in. !@#$ing asshats. Their opinion only makes me more angry. I wanna put up a banner going 'THIS is why we need to vote for Democrats this year!'

UGH.

I assume at some point not far in the future there will be generations who did not grow up with Mr. Rogers and, as a result, will find him trite and saccharine and then we will all be the worse : (

As I believe somebody put it on Twitter "any Americans who are not watching the Brexit are missing some real Ghost of Christmas Future shit." Am very scared for the Brits. And very scared that we are soon to join them.

Gahhh, I fear you may be right. Kids are already cynical by the time they turn five right now. Except mine. Mine were weird and oddly fascinated by everything. Still are, lol! *is a lucky wench*

We're already there, alas. We got in the handcart. The brake has been released and we're all hellbound, methinks. *headdesk*

Oddly enough, most USAers are going 'whuhappened?!!?' right about now. Makes me glad (even as upset as I am) that I pay just a leeeetle more attention to world events. Even as scattered as that attention can be. :(
