For those who voted 'to get Brexit done'

[Wash DC Blue]

Is it really that much of a false equivalence comparing those that believe That Trump had the election stolen and Remainers who for years denied the legitimacy of the Brexit Vote?

I'm not saying the referendum was illegitimate here, but I would say that a major difference is that there were a lot of investigations, recounts and court cases regarding the US election in the space of a few weeks. The argument was simply that Biden hadn't had more votes. I don't think anyone* has said that the vote counting was wrong.


*fao xsnaggle, don't take 'anyone' completely literally. It may have been mentioned by some loon as far as I know.

Totally false equivalence.

No one has disputed the EU Referendum vote in the UK. Very few people have challenged its legitimacy.

A lot of people on both sides of the argument have claimed the other lot were dishonest with their claims.

A lot of people on the Remain side, whilst accepting the result, made the argument that the devil will be in the detail and the people should have an opportunity to decide if they like the detail that finally emerged.

But they only made that argument because they lost!

Rees-Mogg also made that argument before the referendum.

But his side didn't lose.

It's done. It's time foks got over it ad stopped baging on about. Better chanel their energies to making it work.

But of course, as has been said, some people want it to fail and don't care if that damages the country.

So maybe the argument is not being made just because they lost, given that someone who won made it beforehand? Maybe that suggests it's sensible.

The argument is being made now by those who cannot accept that their side lost, just as it is by the people on here, as much as they attempt to dress it up as something else.
