We know the Daily Mail, Express, Telegraph etc. lied about Brexit.

We know that Johnson, Gove, Farage, Hoey & hundreds of other prominent people lied about Brexit.

We know that some economists and business leaders lied about Brexit and got 50% of BBC coverage.

(please read on)
We know vast amounts of money were spent on highly targeted, corrosive social media campaigns.

We know all of those things, yet we're still enraged at Leavers? (Some of that is human nature.)

"How dare they have voted Leave! They had all the facts."

(please read on)
No, they didn't have all the facts. Why? For every reason in this thread.

They were living in giant info bubbles. Every source of information within those bubbles was consistent with every other source (and lying).

So how could they REALISTICALLY know better?

You don't know you're in a well if all you've ever known is the well.

(As I've said elsewhere, if you understand Brexit you almost certainly can't understand why other people don't understand Brexit. Your info bubble is just too different from theirs.)

(please read on)
Blame right-wing media, truth-twisting politicians, rogue economists and dodgy business owners, instigators of social media campaigns. Blame the conmen and conwomen.

EVERYONE ELSE is a victim.

(Of course if they're ALSO racists, that's a SEPARATE reason to condem them!)
