Anecdotal but I felt no effects from it <| sep |> Brazil yes , I ' m bad with geography , but we were a Portugal colony once , it kinda counts . Any single word related to patriotism . Also , not using the fucking metric system . <| sep |> Thanks Pede , that one got me to laugh ! <| sep |> An author I can ' t recall posited that Britain were the heroes of WWII , the Soviets fought the war , and America won the war . An over simplification but rings true . <| sep |> If this happens , expect millions of republicans in California , NY , NJ , MA , etc to come out and vote , who do not currently vote because they feel their vote doesn ' t count because their states electoral votes always go to democrats . Will democrats likely get some additional votes coming from places like Texas , whose democrat voters feel the same way as republicans in California ? Probably , yes . But I think this would wind up benefiting republicans far more than democrats .
