I suspect you may be right. I live in Yorkshire in the UK. It's been a similar story here with Brexit. People who can't believe anyone would want to leave the EU, have slammed such people racist, xenophobic bigots (sound familiar?). Yet these people have not got a clue what the people actually living particularly in the North have suffered over the past 30 years as a result of various government policies.
There's a genuine feeling of helplessness. Maybe the lashback isn't the right way to solve it, but tbh, nobody has listened to any concerns at all and the longer you bottle that shit up, the more volatile the response is going to end up being.
RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.
