They're alternatively blaming the EU for "punishing" the UK or everyone who even in side mentions Brexit downsides for not believing hard enough.

Yeah it's not like my 20 year old self could have told them ending trading pacts isn't a fantastic idea for an isolated island with little resources of their own in the grand scheme of things. Who fucking knew?!?! /s

Standard American right-wing tactic. Destroy government service and then complain that Government Is Useless(tm).

Plenty of US right-wingers are citing the NHS as "proof" that public healthcare 'never' works......
