Ardent pro-Remain/anti-Brexiteer here.<p>It's simple. Trump can go away in 4 years, or possibly less, if you fight him hard enough. So people are fighting him.<p>Fighting Brexit, however, requires that you, in the eyes of the public, permanently (since Brexit isn't temporary) dismiss the most pure form of democracy that the British ever get access to: the referendum.<p>The Liberal Democrats have merely suggested having a second referendum on the negotiated Brexit deal and they're getting called all sorts/undemocratic/blah blah, so people like me might as well be undemocratic authoritarian dictators in the eyes of a newly validated, right-wing nationalist populace.
