When folks keep peddling this same bs rather than acknowledge they were lied to, then it's just crazy.
On top of that, May called a GE to get a majority so she could force through a hard brexit, 54% (a higher percentage than the ref) voted for parties that explicitly ruled out a no deal.
When you get an hour over the next few days, do me a favour and go on yt and lookup some of the brexit promises in that campaign.
You've also, and without intending to do so, explained full well why we need a final referendum with the deal/no deal vs revoke.

We had a sort of second referendum with the 2017 General Election, where the Tories put "no deal is better than a bad deal" in their manifesto. The Tories came out on top.
Lying to win votes is what happens, and will always happen. What matters is how the people vote.
