'How has their world ended? '
Because the elites will lose and the elites pay their salaries, and the elites will not be happy if they lose.
So, it hasn't actually ended.
How do you think the elites losing will lead to the Guardian salaries stopping?
Who are these elites that pay their salaries?
'And which people have won? '
What Trup calls "the forgotten people", "the silent majority", not the spinners the BBC always put on TV and the political class who serve the elites
(See below, I'm keeping this for context, because context is everything, even if some people prefer to spin based on snippets. And I'm not talking about the BBC, but about the king of spin, Trump)
'How is just over and just under 50% of voters "the people"?'
Majority vote, democracy. Elites don't like democracy, but that's tough.
All very nice, but you didn't answer the question. A majority of the people voted Brexit. A vote led to an electoral college win for Trump. In which case a majority of the people actually voted for someone other than Trump. Wouldn't you say that was the people saying that they didn't want Trump and that anyone else would be better? And that the people spoke against Trump, but the establishment put him in power?
