I think many Americans are seeing that the UK voted to leave and that’s it. They’re not seeing the nuances that existed.

“Nuance” is not something most people (and not just Americans) like to deal with when it comes to politics - simple slogans and black-and-white dichotomies usually suffice.

Frex, it seems to have gone completely over Donald Trump’s head that Scotland was the most “Remain”-voting section of the entire UK, and that (had he bothered to read a newspaper) they will probably want to secede from the UK for the sole purpose of rejoining the EU. (Or to be snarky, also clueless that those shouts of “Leave” might have been directed at him personally).
