So if we do now crash out of the EU without a deal, the blame will rest with Jeremy Corbyn (and to a lesser extent Nicola Sturgeon).

For some people, that’s a lot of butthurt to process. You can’t blame them for wanting to deflect their discomfort with a few silly Internet memes.
A few Brexiters who believed what David Davis (we can still have all the benefits of the single market) and Liam Fox (easiest deal ever) are nursing what you described as butt hurts. They truly can't have their cake and eat it. But there's no reason why they and everyone else can't tap their traditional British sense of humour. A better approach than being in denial and pretending there's a better deal to be had as they need us more than we need them or other poorly-researched reasons.
