Is what drove Brexit also driving Trump ?? you bet it is . " they took their country back , just like we will take America back ". Triumphally declared Trump , while promoting his business in Scotland . He is now doubting the validity and the worth of all international trade agreements . While America is only 4% of world population , Mr. Trump wants to cut back on everything international and isolate Americans within their fortified walls .
The leave campaign in Britain grew and strengthened using a demagogy of fear slogans and tactics , the same is being used here in America by the Trump campaign , and driving his popularity , fear of open borders and its immigrants , criminalizing them in bulk , fear of international free markets and trade movement , fear of loss of jobs of a smaller and less educated nature , and a fear of any and every color but pure white and blond hair . An absurd and desperate clinging to old fashions , old ways and habits , including a relaxing religious conformity .
No wonder British exiter's voters look very , very similar to Mr. Trump's political gatherings and voters , they practically behave and surely speak the same sentences and words , they chant in excitement the same hymns .
The parallels of Nigel Farage's billboard showing a group of dark-skinned men entering the U.K. cannot miss the billboard " let's turn America white again ." By an aspiring politician in eastern Tennessee . A slogan widely criticized in America , but practically ignored and gone totally uncommented by Mr. Trump .
There is some sort of a silent understanding , a sort of going hand in hand , between Mr. Trump , the Brexiters , the French ultra right Marie Lepen , and many other European NeoNazis and ultra conservative groups , all sarcastically backed by an ever smiling Mr. Putin of Russia , and all modeled after the politics and ideologies of the right religious factions of Israeli apartheid .
Mostly white people , many over 60 years of age , " poorly educated " people , loved by Trump , people who are religious in essence and still nostalgic to some old rhythm of life , available nowadays only in old Hollywood movies . All ready to absorb and spread ideas and slogans of hate , racism , misogyny , Islamophobia , bigotry and discrimination , in short anything different in color , shape or looks from them .
