I reckon there's a fairly large amount of non-idiots who voted for it.
Problem is they had little to no idea about what EU and our involvement with it was. They were led by misinformation and selective truths. This should never have been a public vote as there was, and still is, little understanding about what being a member really entailed. I doubt any significant percentage of the country had any knowledge of global economics (still don't). But yeah, let's get brown people out of the country because reasons? It's a fucking stupid idea but there's nothing we can do about it at the moment...

Just look at the dimwit at the bottom of this thread
Thinks it's only posh cheese we get from abroad when it is in fact 80% of everything we eat. That's the level of idiocy we are dealing with

But if stupid is as stupid does, anyone who voted for Brexit is by default an idiot (and/or a cunt).

I don't really agree with that (cunts aside, cunts are cunts)
I know fairly smart people in their field who voted for it, without a full understanding of what "it" actually meant. Yes LOTS of idiots voted for freedom, cuntry and whatever else shit you want to call this balls up. Some realise their mistake, but are too proud to say they were wrong. Some even say they were wrong, but there's no way of turning back. This is why a public vote on this was a bad idea from the start, even sensible people can be misled with the right propaganda.
EDIT:
Sorry it's getting too serious on here
YOUR ALL GAY

It would have been more accurate to say anyone who voted Brexit WAS an idiot. I think you need to reappraise your smartness criteria though.
Things I think make people idiots include:
Failure to recognise bullshit (e.g. bendy bananas, red tape, undemocratic unelected bEUROcrats, Soros, the EU army, the NWO)
Believing obvious bullshit (see above, also religion, money, climate denial, flat Earth, etc)
Acting on bullshit beliefs (voting to leave the EU, voting for the Conservatives/UKIP/TBP/BNP/NF, sending money to Nigel Farage for any reason)
I hear there are sensible people who voted for Brexit all the time, but when you start to investigate these claims they all fall apart. Sensible people do not knowingly vote to make themselves poorer, more isolated, and less safe, so they must have done so unwittingly. Unwittingly acting against your better interests is not smart. Being theoretically smart but idiotic in practice makes you more of an idiot, not less.
That said, realising you were once an idiot makes you smart. That is the only route back to sanity for the 52%, imo.

Taken in conjunction with his board sig it reads:

I think it's his new sign off.

I mostly agree.
However, if you are bright enough to recognise that you shouldn't be voting in the first place, then you'd side with the experts over the populists, wouldn't you?
Or not vote.

I recall a distinct lack of vocal experts in the run up to the vote
Hence the "even sensible people can be misled with the right propaganda". But yeah, you're right!

Wasn't there a drive against 'experts' through the campaign.
Just like Trump, discrediting anybody who might counter the message and general gaslighting.
