My only British friend is apolitical (and a bit of a dumbass, if I’m being honest). What’s brexit like for your average Brit? I can’t imagine having the right to just move (almost) anywhere in Europe and getting that ripped away from me, but I’ll admit, I don’t really know any of the other repercussions of leaving the EU.
It totally ruined a lot of people’s lives. They had plans to go work somewhere in Europe maybe even live there. Now they can’t do that.
The whole point of the European Union was it was supposed to be a bit like the United States without having to actually form a single nation. All of the countries would effectively act like States in one nation - they even setup Interpol to act like state troopers. Imagine if you suddenly couldn’t move between states. Utterly stupid outcome, and 100% predicted.
Just like any government the EU council did do some brain dead things, but that wasn’t a good reason to leave.
Ask the women that got arrested for miscarrying their own baby, or were allowed to die after 40 hours of a half-born miscarried fetus hanging from them because doctors were unwilling to do anything that might be construed as aiding and abetting abortion.

This has already become reality for all the women I know that are pregnant or trying to become pregnant.
In what way?

As an American, please don’t give anyone ideas. I really don’t want to need refugee status to go out west.
Fellow American, given the cost of living, I feel like I’d need refugee status to get out of the
methbeltred statesI can’t imagine giving that up. As an American I once wanted us to join the shengen as one of my long term political pipe dreams.
Yeah, back in my more politically hopeful/naive days, I dreamt of it, too. :(
Economic disaster mainly
