I really hope I'm wrong.

The UK people who voted Conservative for a hard Brexit did so thinking it'll make the country better.

Your side won and you've got what you wanted. Now we will see if the warnings from remainers and the left are project fear or whether they are true.

I've predicted a doubling down on thatcherite economics, a poorer country and trade deals which open up health and education to US companies. I don't think many of the people who voted for Johnson want these things.

Things could get fairly bad or extremely bad. I want to be wrong but I fear that I'm not.

Good luck!
Is it possible that fear of Brexit so high the bar for success is crazy low?
If the experience here means anything the true believers will claim it a success no matter what.

@monte3 I was thinking the very same thing.

@bijouxbroussard For sure blame will be shifted if things go badly and people will not want to keep believing. And yes, I've learnt that from seeing Trump supporters in SW.
