I agree with the great majority of what you're saying except:
I grew up in poverty along with almost everyone else in my hometown. The whole area is super red. That's exactly the kind of thing they believe.
Not to say there aren't those kinds of people who haven't known poverty, it just doesn't seem to factor in.
I mean specifically this type of guy on how they are confused about how laws are enforced.
A lot of Trump supporters I think just don't really think things through critically and are mad about the economy and crime and homelessness and the drug epidemic and are swept up by the idea that someone is actually acknowledging those issues properly. Because the establishment has sure refused to actually tackle them for a long time. And Democrats can't help themselves but make themselves look even worse by constantly trying to introduce little nanny bullshit as well and they get a pretty deserved reputation as being a mixture of bought and paid for and nanny state trying to ban things and raise taxes. Republicans aren't all that popular either anymore, people want serious anti-establishment candidates and failing a real one they'll get excited about a fake one.
Ah, I understand what you're saying now. And yep. There's too much more to say on the matter for me to actually try to get into.
I also know a Trump supporting American Hispanic who have been mistaken as an immigrate by other immigrates. He has completely confidence that he'll never have issues with LEOs, but that may be the agent orange in his nervous system.
