AMERICANS don't know what to think about Brexit, if they even know what it means. Right now, the "real America" of Budweiser, burgers and Nascar stock cars is too preoccupied by the primary election victories racked up by Donald Trump to see the populist xenophobic parallels with Nigel Farage's Strasbourg rants and the rise of the UK Independence Party.
