to find it impossible to forgive Brexiters

[mrsmootoo]

Can't forgive Brexiters for voting Leave. Find it impossible to move on from this. If there are any positives about leaving EU (?!) they are far outweighed by Remaining. Brexit posts on social media are so aggressive and unpleasant - you lost get over it. Really concerned about my kids' prospects, not being able to travel/work abroad as easily etc.

I would find something else to put your time and effort into OP. It's done, it is what it is. People voted for what they thought was best. The majority of people got the outcome they wanted, a lot of people didn't.

I'm just going to get on with my life and try not to worry.

we don’t know that it’s going to affect people’s ability to work/travel abroad

Yes we do. After 31 December this year, UK nationals will be Third Country nationals with regards to the rest of Europe which will completely alter our ability to live, work and travel there.

If it upsets you that much could you try to get citizenship in an EU country?

YABU because the only person you are hurting is yourself, and possibly your family.

And they still voted in the party that were set to leave rather than the others

43% voted for the Tories. So Remain parties got a big majority percentage wise. But thanks to FPTP, the Tories we got.

ivytrails - No, I hope their jobs are the first to go and that remainers go in front of them for healthcare

And comparing leave voters to Nazi’s? You are not merely “not nice” - you are venomous and disgusting.

Completely agree.

I'm hoping it's going to be "BINO", and not much will change for some time.

I just cannot see how this could possibly be a positive thing. At all.

I'm still yet to hear a good reason for it.

But didn't Brexit also win in a FPTP 2 horse race?

I can't forgive them either. It's not just a difference of opinion. They have actually taken something away from me and my kids even if it works in the way they wanted to (and I'm still not clear what that was because there's never been an answer).

Have a look at what happens in countries where violence is used to control votes

have a look at what happens in countries where corruption and illicit foreign influence is used to control votes. You won't have to look far.

'Maybe invest some of your emotional energy in finding out the reasons why people voted to Leave rather than just assume they are stupid.
You may be surprised'.

Interesting comment. You said 'stupid' not me. And I spent hours on street stalls with Leavers being rude and ignorant, and I have yet to be 'surprised' by any of them with a coherent reasonable argument for Leaving.

What a piss poor anti Brexit thread.
No-
Racist
Thick
Didn't know what they were voting for
Old
Et al.
But the usual suspect will be along when the claxon at remoaner HQ goes off.

Well there is now gingham, you said it yourself love

I agree OP. In 2016 I could understand it. Now, no.

What a bizarre post alexander.

I agree with you OP and I will take great delight in saying "I told you so" to all the people who are going to be hugely surprised at what happens next.
There will be no sunlit uplands.

I voted remain and was upset at the way the vote turned out however I am an adult and respect it. Your post is very melodramatic, yabu.

Think about living in a country where there is war,or poverty

There's poverty in this country, and there's been war well within my lifetime.

Ok, I didn’t ask to be forgiven- youre allowed your feelings and I’m allowed my vote

I voted remain. Felt genuinely sick as I saw the results, as I was holding my (then) 6 month old DS.

He’s 4 now.

Time to move on.

I am old enough to remember the UK before we went into the EU, old enough to remember us joining, and now we're leaving. I don't think it will be a disaster; we survived before joining the EU. Once in, some things changed, some for the worse, some for the better. It will be the same....more freedom for some decisions, a different direction, some may feel we have lost our EU partners.

The country will go forward, it will not end. I think we need to pull together and make it work, rather than foretelling doom and gloom. I really think we will be fine.

As for saying you "can't forgive" or "get over it" - none of these things are helpful right now, and unnecessary.

A majority of the population seem to think so.

No, about 27% of the overall population voted for this.

But how many people saying "they've taken away mine and my children's rights to live/work in the EU" were ever actually planning on doing so? There will still be routes to work in the EU if that is what someone wants to do. My mother came from a different European country back in the 60's and worked and got married here, long before the EU was ever formed!

If anyone tells you they didn't vote, you can tell them off, they were the people who placed you in this position.

That is if you assume those who didn't vote would have voted Remain, if they did. What if they would have voted Leave. Would still be here.
