This thread is pretty cool.
Because I'm me, I'm obviously going to explain how each point relates to Brexit in a new thread.

Many people are willing to accept No-Deal Brexit now even though they originally voted for Brexit by reassuring themselves and others that a no-deal was project fear.
I.e The whole thing is much more expensive than what we would have agreed to sign up to.

Remainers wanted EU membership.
Leavers wanted more control.
A soft Single Market Brexit was never a "compromise" because it meant no EU membership AND less control. Leaving both sides in a worse position than they started.

Remainers googling "what has the EU done to help us" and reading The Guardian ...
Leavers googling "how has the EU hurt us" and reading the Express

Soros
Blair
Mandelson
Murdoch
Trump
Putin
Implying that one of these figures is the reason why a remainer or leaver is making an argument rather than taking on the argument itself.

"The EU's not going to stop trading with us because we've left the EU. PROJECT FEAR!!"

Take @guyverhofstadt as an example.
He's a committed European federalist. He's also one man, and yet, clips of him defending that cause were used to suggest the entire EU was federalist, even though he was sat in the same Parliament as Nigel Farage!!

"Look at all these bad things that happened while we were in the EU, therefore the EU must be bad". Austerity, Northern deindustrialisation, wage drops...
Nothing that happens can be blamed on Brexit. Ever!!
Saying that the sole reason why a company fails, trades less or cuts jobs is because of diesel, China, or Amazon. As if there can only be one reason. Ignoring the reality that each reason, including Brexit, is a straw gradually breaking the camel's back.
On the issue of how Brexit would affect the NHS, an issue of literal life & death, the United Kingdom believed Telegraph and Daily Mail journalists and a blonde who studied Greek poetry, over every medical institution in the country.

Nobody's left the EU before so it might be fine, even though every expert in the field says it won't be for us.
Nobody's ever flown directly into the sun or made love to a wild tiger before either!
