Likewise. Not a trump or a brexit fan, but I've been called an idiot who knows nothing about the world, as nobody but an idiot would believe either of those possible. After the event, same people tell me that I didn't actually see it coming, you just always assume the worst. No. I read history. It seemed obvious that trump would win from when he announced his candidacy - because he was dismissed out of hand. Same with brexit. It all boils down to people believing perfectly possible things to be impossible. Challenging that challenges their sense of self.

Nobody likes Cassandra.
