What is clear, and will remain clear in spite of your personal attacks, is that most thought that there would be no real serious downside:

Just so we are clear: long term 4% loss of GBP is not "a period of economic adjustment"
That works both ways.

Actually, as a remainer, you simply do not understand what the average Brexiteers wanted. You assume, and you assume wrong.

Most voted to control immigration, escape EU bureaucracy and regain our sovereignty. Our destiny lies in our ability to make our own laws, not to accept laws designed by a remote bureaucracy with no electoral mandate.

The difficulties we are having in the first year post Brexit are transitional, including your 4% loss of GDP. This will be recouped in bounds in future years.
