"The Brexit vote was driven by angry, less-educated, older white voters who feel screwed by globalization and the establishment, and have been fed a chip butty of xenophobia slathered in slogan sauce," Bee said.
The way Bee sees it, those are the same people who follow Trump and his brand of "right-wing, racist, anti-immigrant demagoguery."
"The worst outcome of Brexit," Bee said, "is not the breakup of the EU or the fact that you can now use the British pound as loo paper, it's that the vote made these hateful morons think that over half of the country agreed with them."
So why does Bee believe that same scenario won't happen to us? It comes down to the demographic makeup of the US.
87.1% of the UK is made up of whites.
