Quartz is at least useful as an example of the impressive level of idiocy Brexit supporters are capable of, and the sheer vacuousness of their objectives. For example:

> [@What will the UK do wrt Brexit?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-will-the-uk-do-wrt-brexit/829799/33):
>
> Then you should have absolutely no trouble explaining what this means in concrete terms. Or just answering “yes” to my question. Did the British people vote to unilaterally abandon all EU treaties and trade deals? Yes or no?

> [@What will the UK do wrt Brexit?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-will-the-uk-do-wrt-brexit/829799/34):
>
> You’re obfuscating. The UK voted to leave the EU. It’s that simple. I’m sorry you cannot understand that simple fact.

As you can see from his evasiveness he, like most of his ilk, hasn’t got a fucking clue what he voted for, hence the whole “Brexit means brexit” mantra they’ve been hiding behind for the last two years. When people then ask them just what it is they want, they go into denial mode, before then blaming everyone else for the confusion, e.g.:

> [@What will the UK do wrt Brexit?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-will-the-uk-do-wrt-brexit/829799/21):
>
> The UK made its choice, and the politicians are struggling to not implement it.

Any questions you direct at him on just what he means by “it” will just provoke further evasion and handwaving, because that’s all he fucking has.
