I think you're right. I think Remainers have acknowledged that there's a high chance we'll leave the EU and have had a long time to appreciate this. By contrast, I think Brexiters are now only coming to terms with the fact that there's a chance that we won't in their generation, hence the more emotional language used on occasions.
