Brexit Vote Has Huge Ramifications for U.S. Politics

News flash: The revolt against elites is real in the UK and America and it's only getting started. Maybe there will always be an England.

In a surprise, Leave won the Brexit referendum on whether to stay in the European Union by an equally surprising amount. British sovereignty won. David Cameron lost. Jeremy Corbyn lost. The EU lost. Bureaucrats lost. Angela Merkel lost. Barack Obama lost. Globalism lost. Authority figures almost everywhere lost. And, most of all, unlimited immigration lost.

...Earth to elites: Citizens of truly democratic countries don't want unlimited immigration into their countries by people who couldn't be less interested in democracy. They also don't want to be governed by the rules and regulations of faceless bureaucrats whose not-so-hidden goals are power and riches for themselves and their friends. Simple, isn't it?
p.s. From Obama to Kuntzman, what exactly makes them elites?

#1 Once again in a close election the media lies about poll results. Yesterday it was all Remain on every channel.

#2 ...I'm guessing that the White House had convinced itself that all would be well - but that also means they're in cornered-animal mode this morning. If the disciplined, compliant, by-the-law Brits can do something like this, you gotta believe that there's flat-out, pants-wetting fear in the West Wing (and Malificent's campaign HQ) right now over what we might be capable of.

They'll do something remarkably stupid. Mark it.

My fear as well. I hope it has nothing to do with China or Russia.

#4 ...(and Malificent's campaign HQ) - Love it, Mike.

And 'elites' self-define, as they feel no one else has the wit to recognize their obvious superiority. Gag.

#5 But will the politicos in Washington, and their supporters the MSM get this or will they keep their heads in the sand and keep on with the same ole same ole?

#7 To bad calling the Pro-independence racist has no bite anymore because the race card was used up long before the Islamic rape gangs were discovered in the midlands.

#8 Is Donald Trump our "Brexit"?

Yes. Great Britain has a long and proud tradition of choosing freedom and independence over fear and tyranny. This is all about globalism vs. nationalism. The Brits just chose nationalism because they don't trust the Germans, Greeks, French, Italians, Spanish and Portugese. The Brits trust themselves and for the past several hundred years that trust has served them well. They don't want a one world government. They don't want open borders because that means they lose their homes and their freedom. Hopefully in November Americans will do the same.

#10 #7 Is Donald Trump our "Brexit"?

Somehow "USexIT" sounds too Hollywood.
