Yes. It's definitely not a blue/red team issue. More generally, I think the problem is low information humans. Humans who react with emotions first reflexively and then selectively scrape available data to build up some sandcastle to support their actions.
With Brexit, there was some vague notion of exploitation by the EU and by immigrants, and of lost sovereignty, and with Twitter mobs, it's of some great unpunished injustice. With the former, it leads to people voting against their own interests, and with the latter, a rejection of law and order and a return to half hearted vigilante justice.
