You can't get anywhere if you go into any kind of debate with blinkers on with your mind already made up before a word is spoken.
Social media keyboard warriors had decided what was going to happen for everyone in the UK regarding brexit and if you didn't agree with them they threw insult after insult at you for wanting out of the EU.
You were called racists bigots and all the rest of it and them some...

With blinkers firmly on, glued on some might say? these keyboard warriors completely refused to believe that there was a possibility of the UK leaving the EU.

I predicted that we would leave the EU long before the vote took place, I also predicted Donald Trump would win whilst being shot down in flames on social media by the same warriors who again refused to believe that the American people would never EVER vote in their millions for Donald Trump. (add insulting racist bigoted slurs here).
The mere mention of his name inflamed them.

This is exactly what happens when you are not open to hearing the truth. Some say...But the truth hurts...well yes it can...but it can also set you free if you allow it.
I'd rather know the truth because life is much easier all round when i know it.

Many people got both situations completely wrong, This really confuses me because....
how is this even possible in this day and age with the internet giving you access to all sorts of information? Again it all comes back to...... Blinkers on,minds were closed and because of that approach you learn absolutely nothing, at best all you get from ranting on about what could have been after democracy has taken place is anger and bitterness for not being able to see what was staring you right in the face that those with open minds could clearly see.

I have to admit.I predicted both wrong because the establishment usually wins.In both cases it didn't which was a surprise to me.
