"Oh no, the consequences of my own actions!"

It's stunning to watch videos of Britons confused about why they've lost certain privileges, only a short while after voting to leave the place that gave them those privileges. It's like canceling your gym membership because it's too expensive, then wanting to fight the manager because they won't let you work out there anymore. I have so much sympathy for those that knew what Brexit meant, tried to fight it, and lost the vote.

I've been mentally comparing this to the 2016 US election where an (electoral) majority got Trump elected as President. But we still have large swathes of the US population that were VERY happy with all 4 years of his presidency. I'm curious how many Britons in 2016 were similarly as vocal for their support of the referendum, and are still just as happy today with the results.

I think even among Brexiteers an awareness is starting to dawn that no alleged benefits have been delivered. And the fight over Northern Ireland is still ongoing.

Have you consided that some of the people who are confused about this DID NOT VOTE TO LEAVE? That they are confused because nobody explained, or could explain, at the time of the Brexit, that these wouldbe the consequences? The Leave campaign was (at best) disingenous about the consequences; the Remain campaign could not predict all the consequences because that would require an actual deal to analyze.
