The point children IS reality.

Mr Trump WILL be the US president. We WILL leave the EU.

Is it possible for "liberals" to be pragmatic?

We must find ways of working with the new US administration even if by our stupidity and lack of foresight, we have made that so difficult and embarrassing.

We must ensure
good trade deals with other European countries by keeping our negotiating position secret for the moment, until article 50 is instigated.

We must stop whining because "liberal" ideology is being rejected all over the developed world and work for a society where CLASS inequality is addressed, rather than the smokescreen of sexual orientation.
