He is replying to a very bold statement that is attempting to imply that people who voted to leave the EU are somehow 'ill informed' and are about to get some kind of big 'kick in the nads' that somehow Mystic Kizzy knows about and all of us uninformed dummies who voted to leave are totally ignorant to.
He is offering a rebuttal to this by giving examples of people from all different walks of life and all members of 'Joe public'(as all of us are) who made an informed decision when they cast their vote.

I actually totally have to disagree that informed decisions were made in voting, on both sides too, although those voting remain knew things would probably go on as before.
However in even my own family, of whom very few voted to leave, talking to just 5 of them, 1 only voted to stop free movement of people from the EU, 2 voted for powers to be returned back to the UK parliament and the other 2 voted just for a change, no specifics as to why.
There were several factors of voting leave with not all voting for one set of things either.
That is my view and you can discount that but even from that small number in my family who did so, they did not vote for instance,believing we would leave the single market..
Also neither were they voting for that when they voted leave.
Needless to say I disagree too with your fist part of your post sadly, I see no reasons for personal attacks on others and stating they appear to know nothing.
Everyone has opinions, they do not need to be offensive,.
