Our politicians are in the business of creating fake realities. Using these convenient fictions, they then present us with fake choices. These fake choices often are formulated as dilemmas between things that are not real, influence our voting behavior and our political preferences.
I've seen my friends use this tactic all the time with their children to get them to pick option A or B, both things the parents want. It's funny even as adults we miss that there are so many other options of only we would think about it a bit more.
Something interesting I've noticed in my time here on Earth: we have something like 7 billion++ humans (and human brains) at our disposal, with most of them networked via the internet, and yet we only use <<< 1% of these brains to solve our many problems.
Now if this was a sitcom or something this would be pure hilarity, but since this seems to be the real deal, it is more so horrific (though, still hilarious imho).
What should one do if one finds oneself awakening into a situation where one is trapped on a planet in the middle of this situation?
I never saw the NHS advert from vote leave but it swayed a lot of my Mum's friends. My husband's demographic got fearful stories of boats heaving with refugees aka "migrants", and stories about whites being outnumbered by dark skinned people, ex forces men were told that anyone who supported the EU was pro Germany and a traitor... So not actually so positive really. Remain campaign didn't believe people would be so stupid actually. How wrong we were.

Great post, it is a sad situation indeed.
