All the incompetence and lies take a while to filter through to the real world. A lot of people don't really care about politics because things have been relatively good for so long that people can't remember things ever being shit. They assume this is the natural of order of things, so when you've got someone like Johnson in charge, they find it funny as they don't think it really matters who's in charge, things will carry on in broadly the same way regardless.
They don't realise how incredibly important it is to have serious and competent people in charge. People wouldn't board a plane except if they were sure the pilot was extremely competent at their job, but are willing to forgive the incompetence of someone like Johnson as they think he'd be a laugh down the pub - when in reality his incompetence is dangerous on a historical, global level. We've really become so complacent as a country, we deserve what's coming in some ways.
It's all really starting to filter through now and it's only going to get worse. The most likely scenario is that people won't be able to accept they were responsible for voting these people in time after time, so will blame a scapegoat like immigrants or another country instead. Then when things get really bad, conditions will be ripe for someone truly evil to emerge and offer an answer to it all.
