as i recall, Remainers would have accepted (albeit grudgingly) a soft Brexit all the way up until 2019; by that point it had become clear that the referendum had been won undemocratically and we'd seen untold damage to the economy and a spike in hate crime. fuck this, we thought.

2018 again, starting to lose faith in Corbyn because Labour wasn't trying to keep up in the single market (ie. soft Brexit) https://twitter.com/sazmeister88/status/950507287906537478
