They lied to themselves.

You chose to listen to the ones who lied, and ignored the ones who warned

A popular older phrase...

"Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it."

If step one is to admit that they've been lied to, then step two has to have them admit that they were wrong in how they voted. Otherwise we'll go through this again, again, and again.

But that'll be a hard sell, as nobody likes to admit that they've been conned/taken advantage of. Thats human nature.
