It's really comparable to how the media treated Brexiters. Most of you voted for separation from Europe, and I supported your choice.
But if I were to go by what most of the media said about the affair. I would have thought you a bunch of ugly, immigrant-hating, low-educated, barbarians who had the audacity to run against the arc of history by rejecting the legal and economic coming together of nations.
You know what though? I came to the event with an open mind. I realized the concerns of the average working Brit and came to respect the decision. None of my business, but I respected it.
I would appreciate a bit of the same courtesy if it hasn't already been extended.
