I think you give people too much credit. I didn't exactly see a scientific sample pool of Brits on tv during the Brexit time period but I sure saw no lack of serious open racism and Putin didn't cause that. He might have helped bring it to the surface but the Brits look like they have boiling over hatred of immigrants in rural Britland.
With the subject of voting against your own interest, seems very common. I thought people had grown smarter than this a few years ago but here we are, people will never learn. Hatred seems to motivate the shit out of people to go vote over all else, or some big-to-some-people subject like abortion. Poor and "middle class" (everyone in the US thinks they are middle class lol) Republicans vote to have their money transferred to the 1% all the time so long as they are resisting abortion. I'm personally at the point where I'd say they can have abortion laws back in their favor if they will join a party that actually wants to help people. Not that that party seems to exist but everyone getting on a sane page about the economy would be a great place to start.
