My Thoughts - Brexit

I may develop this thought more here,  but I am disgusted by the pushback against the Brexit vote. Cries of disenfranchisement (aka, I didn't vote and now I wish I had), petitions for a second vote, even seemingly serious calls to weigh a vote heavier if cast by a young person. In a democracy, the victory of your viewpoint is not assured. Defeat at the polls is as integral and history shaping a part of the democratic process as monumental wins. To pout, to scream foul, to steadfastly refuse to acknowledge not everyone thinks/believes as you do - that's emblematic of tyranny, not freedom.
