I don’t think that’s true really. I really think that some people don’t think their decisions through to the end, or at least halfway through. Just look at brexit, after the vote passed, people were googling the consequences lmao.
Brexit is a perfect example of “dumb” intersecting “cruel”. 33% of Leave voters said they voted in favor of it due to immigration. A thinly veiled excuse for “too many brown people in my white country”. Brexit has done nothing to elevate the white population or reduce the non-white population (the cruel part), but it has done a lot to fuck over British trade (the dumb part).
