In a broader sense, the exhaustive storm of BS is deliberate: When the people are too damn tired to care about which story is really true, it changes the playing field to favor whoever is willing to tell the most-pleasing lies.
Eventually it dovetails with the dynamics of: "The way you have to pretend to believe/avoid my obvious lies is a demonstration of my power and an implicit threat to others."
Then: "By forcing you to publicly sacrifice your integrity, I've poisoned any future resistance with mutual doubt."

I don't think this is what's happening. There is no confusion.
Europe is going down the drain due to the lack of innovation and over-regulation making people poorer and poorer. Refugees cause crime on the street making people feel unsafe.
The average Joe is pissed and votes whatever extremists, as long as they oppose the EU.
