altus Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Now you're showing sympathy for those who were ignored and left behind? Anyone showing sympathy for those who were ignored and left behind would have voted remain. The ones who didn't show any sympathy were those who convinced the ignored and left behind to vote leave despite knowing they would be hit the hardest by brexit.

Puggie Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Aha! For the donkeys or everyone? We are all "donkeys". The psychology of [motived reasoning] is a condition of human nature. It makes no difference if you voted Leave or Remain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magilla Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 (edited) We are all "donkeys". No, when.... your beliefs doesn't change based on facts and figures or any other reasoned argument however good they are ..then the "Hee Haaaaws" begin. Clearly, you misunderstood the video Meanwhile: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/brexit-gove-hywel_uk_598edceae4b08a2472749f5f?2js&utm_hp_ref=uk What does your gut tell you about that? lol Edited August 13, 2017 by Magilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 We are all "donkeys". The psychology of [motived reasoning] is a condition of human nature. It makes no difference if you voted Leave or Remain. My decision was based on the likely economic outcome. Not on emotion. Not on some cult-ish belief. Not on accepting the lies of manipulative snake oil salesmen like Farage. I've argued all along that the economy trumps everything. It doesn't matter what emotive impulses deviod of rational thought led people to believe that economic catastrophe was a price worth paying. Soon enough that economic catastrophe will become so real and start hitting peoples' lives so hard that they will be forced to admit they made a mistake. The EU won't the focus for anger, but rather the people who led us to this point. Farage better start tapping up Trump for US residency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The focus for the anger will still be the EU for being meanies, then any old immigrants, then anyone who isn't white. Hopefully who ever is in charge (by that I mean in government not who writes opinion for the daily mail) will pull something - I've no idea what - out of their hat to stave off economic melt down before the country descends in to total chaos but I don't know who.

tinfoilhat Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 That's what I was asked to do! I thought you would go for things that would actually be likely to happen. You must might have well as stuck "unicorn" at 6) and "solid gold cars for everyone" at 7). It's all based on fantasy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
