Makes sense to me, along with any accusation of anything that leaves your opponent ad a disadvantage.
And in my experience, it is the same, but levelled at Remain supporters, namely that we are all snowflakes who hate democracy etc.
I would say because it’s been used too much, not because people are becoming more racist.
For example, someone voicing moderate concerns over the economic impact of immigrants in small towns that haven’t prepared for it, is immediately called a racist.
Now the sad thing is it allows actual racists to flourish, because if average middle of the road suburban families are “racist” then a skinhead has a form of social cover.
As I said before. If you are a Remainer then you are frequently accused of being a weak willed, anti democracy, bureaucrat loving, British hating, millenial snowflake. It’s become a kind of hysterical narrative.
IDK, I am a Remainer, but also Eurosceptic!
Is it possible for someone like me, middle of the road, entertaining and attempting to understand all points of view to exist?
Apparently not, because if I mention that the EU is far from perfect and would benefit from some reforms, I am labelled some sort of racist.
Yet when I say that, on balance, and having reviewed the arguments presented as best as I can, I think leaving the EU is a silly idea, that hasn’t been well thought out, and is being used for political benefit as opposed to any actual care about the well being of the country, well apparently I am a snowflake.
I’ll just go play some AoW3.
