Build bridges not walls

I hate the result of the vote.
I hate how the leave campaign was run based on lies and inflammatory comments.
I hate the media for their big headlines with no substance.
I hate the division it has caused in the country I was proud to be a part of.
I hate that it has legitimised so much vitriol and racism in parts of or population.
I hate how it will affect not just so many hard working people from EU countries, but also most of my generation's future.
I hate how this might change the landscape of British politics for the worst.
I hate seeing how much pain and anguish people are suffering because of it.
But. I don't hate the people who voted out of genuine concern for their livelihoods. I don't hate how this could galvanise some real engagement around political issues. I don't hate that I am seeing concerted efforts to heal the wounds and figure out how we can make things better.
I still love this country and I want to understand why we've got to this point.
