Deluded or brainwashed by decades of anti EU and immigration propaganda? I would say both. Some obviously are inherently unable to question what they are told and it doesn't even cross their minds to question it. They take articles in publications like the mail and express as fact even though they are littered with 'unnamed sources states' or 'its believed that'. They can't differentiate an opinion piece from a factoral report either. It's only got worse with people starting to rely on Facebook for news.
It’s both, neither and other all at the same time.
Leavers don’t agree with each other so it’s hard to know what they want.
Some want a socialist paradise.
Some want the UK to be a tax haven.
Some want “sovereignty”, while not knowing what it means.
Some want less/no foreigners.
Some want more foreigners from poorer countries to exploit.
Some don’t understand and are just doing what the Sun tells them.
Some think we can still be an Empire and restore the glory days.
Some just want to “own the libs!”.
It’s a mess.
