Is that what Trump promised?

And some believed him?

Selective hearing at work there. Majorly.

You ignore politics, you ignore Trump's history and the bad things he says and does, but you hear what you want to hear, "economic prosperity and law and order", and you say 'You got my vote!'

And then you go back to your semi conscious slumber state, and wait for the "economic prosperity and law and order" to happen.

Then you get impatient and start bitching about the non-delivery of the Promised Land.

What they heard:
"Economic prosperity and law and order" = prosperity for me, heavy handed law and order for those who get in my way.

Low information voters - the possible Death of Democracy?
