> not to mention using the media in exactly the same way Trump did
All political campaigns try to get their message across through a variety of media. Can you be specific?
The remainer objections you quote are at least arguable (some more so than others). Many remainers wanted the result overturned through legal or political mechanisms (typically, a second referendum). But Trump pressured officials to modify vote tallies and literally told followers the election was "stolen". There is a distinction.
and using the media in exactly the same way Trump did
the phrases were different ("Russian interference", "non-binding referendum", "people didn't understand what they were voting for"), but the intended outcome was the same: overturning a legitimate result conducted fairly
and this went on for years
the only difference is the people trying to overturn the referendum result were considered "the good guys", so it's acceptable
whereas for Trump, it's unacceptable because he's the bad guy
