A similar number removed citizenship from all Brits in 2016.

A few hundred votes slipped the US election in 2000 and caused the invasion of Iraq.

You tackle this by having societal norms and strong institutions. The internet broke that. The concentration of wealth broke that. The unprecedented algorithmic manipulation broke that.

Some love it.

Brexit was especially wild. At least the US has the excuse that the law says we do it this way. To make such a drastic change based on a simple majority in a nonbinding referendum is really out there.
