I'm tempted to say the same. Old people were not the only ones swinging the votes, by the way. It was all the people falling for populist narratives. Snake oil vendors selling their voodoo at the top of their voices. Actually looking for serious information is less sexy than hoping for easy solutions being on sale.
These are the ones I really blame. Not only in the UK, for that matter. Blokes, it's mostly men, getting their rocks off on presenting themselves as political messiah figures.
And I pretty much agree. My comment was mostly about the age split on the vote itself. It was pretty much old vs young, and it seems to me like it was far too easy for the older/retired voters to ignore the importance of mobility and job access for the people who are literally the future of their country. It's just so fucked up.
Then again, older voters are probably a little easier to dupe with propaganda, too. The politicians really cluster fucked this one.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
