Not OP. I get what your asking for, but this isn't supposed to be a news community. The whole point of this community is schadenfreude on the concept that people have completely voted against their own interests. Essentially, it highlights people get blindsided when the party they voted for enacts policy or actions that harm them...especially when they were told this exact thing would happen.
There used to be absolutely tons of Brexit items up here as well (at least on the reddit side). We're about to see 4 more years of it.
It would be like if you went to an unboxing community and got frustrated at the fact that no one then did anything with the items after they were unboxed - they absolutely will....it's just not the point of that community.
