I must admit, Brexit does look to have been a dreadful mistake. I'm afraid I was taken in by some convincing liars who knew how to play people and tell us what we wanted to hear, trusting our emotions would overpower reason, especially since it fed into an unchallenged narrative spun for decades as well as a basic tribal distrust of others, which is a trait seen in Conservatives in particular. Not a bad instinct a lot of the time, but I should have exercised some better judgement in this case, given the importance of the decision, and actually looked into matters in more detail. But I was lazy, biased and the media didn't understand much either, so did a poor job holding the brexit talking heads to account. I suppose I should have paused for thought when my side was telling us ignoring experts was a good idea. I mean, when has that EVER been a good idea?!
All I can do now is actually put some extra effort in to lessen the impact on all those I helped inflict this on and campaign to at least get us back in the Single Market, which was in fact what was promised and what most people wanted, so a proper exercise of democracy.
