We know we're not and that's good enough for me.
It's just some of the usual nauseating drivel they like to come out with.
I too have mostly stopped arguing with lefty-liberal-remainers, but here are a couple of points
I remember on one of the many programmes at the time of the Referendum an American journalist was invited to comment, and he said that the Remain side do not seem to understand one of the main rules of political campaigning - you can insult the opposition parties and you can insult their policies, but you can't insult the electorate, as that will go against you
If you do criticise or insult people for their opinions, all that will happen is that they will lie or give evasive answers to the polls, leading to an underestimation
But when people can vote freely in the privacy of the polling booth the truth is revealed, and it can take people by surprise - as shown in the result of the EU Referendum
A study of the voting pattern of the EU Referendum shows that most of the support for Leave came from traditional Labour supporting areas, most of whom would be shocked and insulted to be called fascist, far right, and so on
