Remainsplaining — and this is a peak example of that phenomenon — is doubtless one of the reasons so few people are switching sides to oppose Brexit. Nothing about the appeal of Brexit to those who voted for it two years ago is rooted in logic, analysis or fact. It is all about feelings and instincts, sometimes supported by ‘visionary’ intellectual conceits about what is possible on paper (but undeliverable in a real world). Continuity Remain’s failure to grasp this — along with the movement’s avoidance of seriously addressing the political issues that inevitably arise from ‘cancelling’ Brexit — suggests this is a feature, rather than a bug, in the anti-Brexit milieu.
