Except, there is no provision for leaving the union in the US Constitution, only provisions for how to get added. Therefore, leaving was plainly illegal and an act of rebellion. The EU has pretty well spelled-out ways to get out.

I think a lot of the salt in Social (and real) Media is because now they have to face the reality that they're either
a) out of touch with what people really want
b) unable to influence what people do

It's both.

A lot of resentment built up the last couple of years against the EU and this is just the natural result of it. As it turns out, having to swallow other countries' bullshit just because of a bunch of old farts have a United States of Europe fetish does get on people's nerves.

So can someone tell me if this is a good idea or not?

Depends on what your priorities are. The EU as a whole has some good parts and some bad parts. It has positive trade and economic policies in the broadest sense, but routinely oversteps its bounds by unilaterally declaring policies without the nuances of individual countries taken into account. Some argue that it's what has prevented a third world war, but I'm not sure how accurate that is considering the Cold War dominated most of the EU's early existence. Boiled down it's an ideological argument between freedom and stability.

It's not a perfect analogy, but I tend to think of the EU as the US under the Articles of Confederation: each state was largely aligned on the big picture items but there was no overarching apparatus that could keep everyone in check on the details. The US eventually realized this was untenable and created a strong federal government. Were the US living under a EU-style system today, Texas would be the state voting for an exit because they didn't believe the trade benefits were worth paying for and letting mandates from Delaware or someplace infringe on their right to self-determination.

I don't think there's a clear answer here.

Edit: I went on Twitter for a clearer answer. You're welcome.

You are not taking into account that the european countries have vastly different cultures. Like the US making a state with Canada, Brazil and Mexico.

The Eu cultural differences are much higher than the US ones.
 
I fucking lost it when people atteibuted the Brexit to racism.

You know who else refused to be a member of the EU?

Turkey.

Those racist Arab fucks.
 
The biggest chimpouts were the middle class university students realising that they're not as in touch with the 'common man' as they thought. Their classism is hilarious.
 
A few of my UK friends are upset about it. I can understand where people are coming from but it's seriously overreacting.

........jesus fuck that is fucking disgusting

I mean......that honestly fucking disgusted me. This fucking cucklet decides that the best way to react to another damn country voting the way that his circle deems "wrong" is to declare that everyone who voted this way is on the side of the guy who murdered an MP less than a week ago and are full neo nazis.

Goddamn it I voted remain and this shit still pisses me off

You may have left the European Union in a cloud of economic uncertainty, but at least you aren't Anthony Burch. She took the Wii, man.
