That follows though doesn't it? The "Remain" campaign went out of its way to associate the "Leave" side with xenophobic racism, so it's somewhat logical that after hearing that association so often in the media and on the socials that the actual bigots would believe it.
What you say is 10X true in terms of how we react now. There were many good reasons to leave, such as TTIP, the way the EU has treated Greece, etc. On the other hand you have Cameron joining in the immigration stuff wanting to stay. We need to unite and not give the racists a victory which isn't theirs.

Apparently the Brexit has accelerated plans for the EU army and expansion into Northern Africa.. Because that's work so well for them in the past.

The protesters seem untroubled by the critical difference between 'loving people' (which is obviously a nice thing to want to do) and loving the EU as a macroeconomic entity. Many of them seem similarly gripped by an inability to distinguish between the EU and the geographical region and peoples of 'Europe'.
...
Never mind the fact that the Remain campaign was part-funded by Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan. Or that the CEOs of Shell, Airbus, BP and Rolls Royce lobbied hard against Brexit. Love doesn't worry about details like that. Love is interested in the big picture. 'ONE COUNTRY, ONE EUROPE, ONE WORLD', as one of the Trafalgar Square placards proclaimed. I confess, I find it slightly chilling that the 'one world' of all-embracing love fits so perfectly with the 'one world' of transnational banks and global corporations.
...
I've spoken mainly of love, but of all the emotions muddying these young minds, the most pernicious isn't love – it's something that underpins and feeds the passion – it's fear. The apocalyptic rhetoric of Project Fear was central to the Remain campaign, and so terrified were many young Brits by the cacophony of dire warnings that they woke up on 24 June 24 literally weeping at the horror. One of my own Facebook acquaintances wrote: "I'm absolutely petrified after the result. Filled with dread."
And it's fear which encircles the love, which polices the boundaries of all these pro-EU passions. Because deeper than any other emotion, more powerful by far than love and compassion, stronger even than the fear of not being able to visit Italy is the fear of being labelled racist.
I'm glad at least one person over there actually gets it.

Wonder how all those who voted leave feel today? they bought into the bullshit and now have been abandoned by those that got them there...which is to say a far far worse place than they ever were.

I wonder when the penny will drop that globalisation hasn't gone away. That there is still freedom of movement for the banks, the hedge funds, the bosses, basically the rich?
