Good analogy, but I think a lot of Brexiters are still thinking along the 'Project Fear' lines - alarm bells aren't ringing because they don't pay serious attention to the news or still believe all the news about Brexit being a disaster are Remainer lies. Same result though- they're not going to change their minds.

But isn’t that the issue, despite the lies of the leave campaign becoming apparent people still wish to leave.
Leave was presented as a realistic option which could be beneficial. Even though leave is now demonstrably disastrous people are still wanting it.
It’s like falling in lust with someone, and you have a fantasy idea of what life with them would be like. You then go on a few dates and they make comments that leave alarm bells ringing that this person could be disastrous relationship material. Though by this point you have now invested time and money in going on a few dates and still want to get your end away and proceed into a terrible relationship.
