"Remainer May is the reason Brexit isn't the romping success we expected".

Your argument rests on the idea that you voted for a concept so vague that it could be fundamentally changed depending on who happened to be in charge.
There's a difference between a vote to make something illegal and a vote to scrap the NHS.

Something can illegal day 1. The NHS would need to be replaced with a new healthcare system. If people couldn't agree on the new system you wouldn't just burn down all hospitals. (No-Deal)
And yet a government minister told me yesterday that he wasn't willing to put the brakes on this thing because he couldn't come up with a credible Brexit option (that matches people's expectations from 2016) to put against Remain in a referendum.

Any MP thinking of voting for the withdrawal agreement Boris Johnson (probably won't) bring back should never have been allowed to pass GCSE maths.

If a significant segment of the 52% who voted for Brexit opposes it... THEN THE MAJORITY OPPOSES IT. Are you democratically stupid!
Now you've realised that we're in this mess because none of you recognised early enough that it's mathematically impossible to please a 52% with wildly different expectations, maybe you'll pass the decision back to the people before the people come for your jobs with a vengeance.
Seriously, if Brexit actually happens and we end up in a relationship with the EU that has an approval rating lower than 48% (and given our track record for negotiations... what do you think!) I hope you all realise the lack of wisdom and moral conviction you've shown.

Fun Fact:
Boris Johnson himself is suggesting keeping Northern Ireland under the laws of the EU in the area of food. But the UK will no longer have a say over them.

That means Brexit is causing us to literally have LESS of a say over how bendy our bananas are in part of the UK.
How did we get into this mess?
Because we had a vote on our relationship with the EU where treated it a binary question. In reality there are a million different possible relationships. But only 3 or 4 give us a say over the laws of the WHOLE of the UK without undermining Peace.

Tory MP recently said we can't have #VotesAt16 in the next referendum as it'd be unfair and would skew the result towards Remain.
You **** Joking?

1⃣ It can't be undemocratic to give more people a say
2⃣ Denying people a vote because of HOW they'll vote is INSANELY UNDEMOCRATIC!
The worst thing... He said this in front of a class of 16-18 year olds!
I was stood behind him when he said "because they'll all vote Remain", and the pupils all saw my reaction and laughed.
I basically threw my hands up in a shrug 🤷🏿‍♂️ as if to say:
Just try and tell me this girl who was 16 at the time shouldn't have had a right to vote. I've met hundreds of adults in their 50s who are less politically aware than @GottgensJess was back then.

1. Now y'all know I have a problem with the leadership of the #Brexit movement. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, they lie constantly and they never know what they're talking about. From WTO rules to EU border controls, they haven't a clue between them.
2. When confronted on TV they offer up empty mantras about believing in Britain or postulate that german car makers will come racing to the rescue. Always with the view that it will be alright on the night. Never any credible answers.
3. They also have some pretty daft ideas. Especially, but not exclusively, the lexiters. They seem to think that a split from the EU gives them carte blanche to do as they please without any reference to the international ramifications.

I'm no longer especially opposed to a second referendum. The Brexit blob have shifted the goalposts and changed the proposition. We need a public vote on their demented WTO fantasy. Let them put their money where their mouth is. They've declared war on reason.

#Brexit
The London Brexit blob have made it perfectly clear that they own the Brexit narrative and will not entertain a deal so this becomes a revolutionary crusade instead of Brexit. I'm fine with leaving the EU but I won't have them speaking in my name or appropriating my vote.
These people have to learn that their tribal fanaticism is is undermining their own case. I've been a leave campaigner for twenty years but no longer have common goals with them save for being out of the EU. They don't get my vote or my voice. Let the chips fall where they may.

1. So they are going to have another anti-#Brexit march - this time under the banner of "put it to the people". My first question is... put what to the people? What is the question you will put to the electorate?
2. If there is to be another vote we need an extension so that it can be properly, fairly and legally arranged. And then you have to tell us what the question is. And this isn't one you just get to make up to suit. It has to be an intelligible question.
3. If it's May's deal versus Remain then that fails the fairness test in that quite a lot of leavers don't want May's deal - and you can't conflate whether we leave with how we leave - so it has to be a straight yes/no question on the deal. And if it's no, what then?

As a remainer I scratch my head as to why #Brexit continues to enjoy significant support despite overwhelming evidence its a really bad idea so thought I'd offer a psychological explanation for its appeal to some of its supporters which simply cannot lie in objective reality
I have no knowledge experience or professional qualifications in psychology whatsoever but as this is #brexit Britain this means I know more than professionals like @RichardBentall so offer my brexpertise on the psychological appeal of Brexit confident in my total ignorance
Being a Brexiter means being part of a huge crowd where not only are you all cheering for the same thing but this crowd permits and even encourages behaviour and attitudes which are normally forbidden and some brexiters at least feel liberated from decency and reason

1) Thread - All Brexits are bad and what we voted for
It's often said by brexiters that "it's not all about economics"
However, the *actual* Leave campaign was almost wholly about economic arguments

With the leak of this 2-8% report those arguments are now trashed
2) We seem to have forgotten this however economics played a huge part in the Vote Leave campaign, making up over 2/3rds of the primary arguements. The clear message was we would at the least be no worse off and at best much better off. 4 of the 6 below state this clearly
3) & the fact is voters believed we would be no worse off. People prioritized immigration certainly, but against a backdrop of there being no consequences from Brexit - few are prepared to actually pay for ending FoM
