This is a big year for people who specialize in denial, people who flat refuse to see the handwriting on the wall.
Think of the Sanders supporters who still want the Democratic convention to give the nomination to him.
Think of the Republicans who still want their convention to give the nomination to somebody, anybody else than Donald Trump.
And now for the people who imagine Brexit can be stopped.
UK voted for Brexit – but is there a way back?
John Kerry: Brexit could be 'walked back'
The official story and the general feeling among the British classe politique is still that democracy must have its way as promised, the decision is final, and Brexit is inevitable.
But people are still not actually planning to do it, to pull it off, and are instead wandering in a daze, indulging in fantasies of denial.
