Quitter ex-MP and vociferous online expat loon Louise Mensch may not be a reliable bellwether despite a large following, but she was heavily in the Leadsom camp till this morning, and May had done, and could do, absolutely no right.
Within an hour, Mensch overcame her cognitive dissonance and went from "OH NOOOES MAY!!!1!" to "Well, she's not so bad," to "The EEA's not so bad, and May'll be able to pull the Art. 50 trigger all the sooner because she doesn't have to wait till September!"
I think there may be a lot of that about at the moment. There may be even more "HELLTHEFUCKNO!!! TO THE BARRICADES!!!!", but there's only so long I can spend reading round the drivel pools.
