I'd say whatever meetings there are between the pair involved Lizzie and her Corgies just sitting there and staring without saying a word. Just staring and sipping tea in a sort of 'How dare you, I wish I could have you hung drawn and quartered still' type manner. Whatever Lizzie can do about it, I don't know. Thus far she's been remarkably quiet and distant from the process. Probably to avoid alienating the half of the country likely to disagree with her whatever she does...
I think the difference is though.... the Obamacare votes were basically theatre, either to be seen to be trying to do something, or to block anything else from being done. This is a shitshow precisely because it's plainly clear it's not going to pass, but they're still trying anyway. Even if the face of a national crisis.
I don't think there really is an American analogue.
If they keep going at the current rate it'll pass by 20 on vote 4. It's as much a slow realisation that there might not be any other alternative ( save for ending it), and getting comfortable with the knowledge that Britain has moved from term-setter, to term accepter. It must take what it's been given and - thus far, the EU have been incredibly generous. Given space to sort things out - agree to negotiate political declarations and otherwise not turning the screw the same way Britain itself has done how many times over?
In order to make it explicitly clear that every single consequence for Brexit can be laid solely at the door of 10 Downing street. There is No stab in the back. It is all your own fault.
Meanwhile I'm just sitting here in a Balaclava listening to rebel songs.

Oh sweet meteor of death
Fall upon us.
Deliver us in fire
To Peace everlasting.
