You could always spend some time reading the various threads here about it to see what arguments have been made for both leave and remain. Or you could jump in feet first and call people thicko racists.
There are arguments for Brexit?
What? Like reasoned, logical, researched, sustained and practical arguments?
This malarkey has been going on heavily for a couple of years I have noticed that nobody on any platform has sustained an argument of any kind that goes much beyond the hatred of 'foreigners'.
Have you heard any others?

in the universe, who can persuade me that there is anything good about brexit?
watching people like you latching onto easy liberal narratives and semi-conscious class prejudices has been entertaining I have to say. It was better in the aftermath when your sort were talking about euthanasia the elderly and making IQ tests necessary for voting. The best bit is the intellectual laziness and dilettantish nature of your limited thinking means you'll never confront it and stop (simply aren't capable of it)- merely tone it down for politeness sake. Acquisition (sorry aspiration) and politeness being the self-perceived cultural lodestones of the brit bourgeoisie, whether they voted in or out, they are still in thrall to the same wormlike tendencies. You've become what you mythologised yourselves to be only as everyone elses lives slid out of view, not part of the narrative UK PLC. The truth of it is this genuine bewilderment, the five stages of grief we've seen played out. Its why you lost.

People like me?
You have only the slightest idea what I am 'like' by a couple of posts on here.
Like I imagine you have, each poster has a hinterland that you or I will never know about based on a few things they post, so if you want to make assumptions about what kind of person I am like, you base that assumption on a very narrow bit of evidence.
Then you spin it out to include 'liberal', semi-conscious class prejudices', intellectual laziness, dilettantish, limited thinking, predictions about what I will or won't ever do or what I am capable of doing, politeness (oh the irony).
I do agree with one point you make, I have become hateful towards brexit voters just as they seem hateful in themselves towards others, but that isn't why I lost.
I don't know if you count yourself as a winner or a loser, but the sheer arrogance of a post that starts with 'people like you' makes me suspect that you are a brexit voter, one who I would despise.
If you are, you won, take control if you think you can.

yet you can judge the millions who voted a different way to you and dismiss them with no sense of irony or self awareness

Yes over 17 million voted brexit, and I accept they might not all be racists, but I don't want to dismiss them principally because of the damage they have done.
To use a cliche I want to hold their metaphorical feet to the fire and get them to tell me the practical steps they planned before voting to make brexit happen.
I have asked this elsewhere, and instead of any brexit voter being able to suggest any practical solutions they tend to attack me as a form of diversion. This place is no different.
Take my opening post, nobody so far has responded to the challenge regarding the Irish border, but people have responded to the fact that I hate and despise brexiters (for the damage they have done). This is a typical brexit response, no actual ideas, but give a kicking to the losers because they don't love big brother as it were.

Maybe try sticking to the question then. Or knock yourself out with one of the many answers on the thread you couldn't be arsed to read before wading in to.
