You're angry because it goes against your narrative, and your narrative is a minority in 2019. The gross majority of the UK did not vote to leave the EU, and the kids that were 16 at the time of the referendum are now of voting age and keen to remain in the EU where the best deal resides.
It's the same type of thing that happens when you argue with a member of a cult and they are always angry. The immediate response is to assume there is deceit, underhandedness and lies in full flow. The member of the cult will never look at themselves and say 'Hmmm maybe.....shit.....maybe I'm wrong'. They won't do it because they have invested so much time, emotion and energy into something that the very core of their existence would crumble if they even began to think they might be wrong.
So of course you then get the conspiracy theories from this etc, and this is the very thing that 'Fake News' is born out of. It's cult members are so indoctrinated by their version of the truth they completely fail to notice how the real world around them is flowing.
I am not in the least bit surprised that remain have a lead, but that's because I'm not in a cult and so I can look around objectively and notice people's opinions and reactions. You along with your fellow No-Deal Leavers are in for a shock when the penny finally drops.
