Maybe they are worried they were fooled by the demagogues and hate people for pointing it out. It's easier to fool someone than to convince them they've been fooled.
Brexiteers are angry, because they're scared. Most of them seem too dumb to comprehend what's coming, but they probably realize, that their leaders had no plan for leaving EU, beyond having a referendum on it. All they've been fed - before and since the vote - are slogans and meaningless, abstract concepts, like "hard Brexit", "soft Brexit", "black-and-blue Brexit", "Brexit with chocolate sauce and a side of ice-cream" and the like.
It must be clear even to the dim-wits, that their future is largely dependent on "diplomats" of such magnitude, as Boris Johnson and Michael Gove, and on how effective they will be at managing the difficult and unprecedented process of leaving the EU. And it must be clear, that they still know nothing and they have no influence on what their government is going to do, until the next elections.
They're nervous and they're getting ready to blame whomever they can - except themselves, naturally - once the negative effects of Brexit become too apparent to be deflected with mindless chest-beating, dumb internet memes and fantasies about historic triumphs.
I imagine Drumpf*cks will go through similar stages, except at least Trump is only going to be president for a limited time - in fact, he'll be gone before Brexit process is truly over and done with...
