Nope. You’re right. It started in the UK, but that was during the 2016 presidential campaign. So the populist movements in the UK (June 2016) and US (Nov 2016) started around the same time.

Remember the faceless "we are the 99%" protests ~6 years ago? I have wondered if there was funding behind that, and assumed there was. No matter if that was the case, it was also a populist movement and I think those same forces are what propelled the popularity of Bernie Sanders and Trump. The masses of people following both were and still are anti-establishment. I think that is the girl more than the socialist agenda that they get caught up in, which is why so many Bernie fans are more easily red pilled.
I think many of the Bernie people got unknowingly or unwittingly subverted- epoch times had an excellent article & video on this yesterday, showing how communist and socialist groups are behind the Our Revolution group that spun out of Bernie's campaign: https://youtu.be/yHk6e9fpOU8

If u study the 2016 election you will find that obviously the d side was rigged but the support from an outsider (Bernie) was remarkable. And then when u checked the right side u saw, from the very beginning guys like trump, Carson and Cruz, all three aside from Cruz were outsiders and cruz was at this time considered fringe or anti establishment. I think it was time. I think America was waking up at this time based on these facts. Just my opinion.

To be fair their has been a populist movement in the uk since mid 1980s, because mainly thats when people started to realise what the EU was
It just wasnt doing great as we have a 2 party electoral system in the UK, thats makes it near impossible for minority parties to gain any power, so its a slower process
You need to make an issue so painful for one of the majors, they are forced to act
And thats how we got the refurendum, its been a long time in the making in the UK
The 1st step was always to be free of the EU, as until you have the control to change things what does it matter who sits in government, they are just a puppet until then

I think the biggest thing Brexit has done is shown people that it doesn't matter what the plebs vote for, TPTB will do what they want. If we do get BREXIT it will be in name only, in reality May and the cabal will keep us linked to the EU. The DS rules here.
