The goal achieved was to present supporters with specific issues they would concentrate on while ignoring all others.
There were those pleased with the Affordable Care Act who wanted to get rid of Obamacare who were surprised when their health insurance coverage was weakened.
There were those who were against the “invasion” of Brown people caught by surprise when their Brown spouses got scooped up by ICE.
There were those farmers who believed the president was all for them and while distracted with the invasion talk were not looking when the trade war began and their crops just sat there when the Brown people were gone.
They looked at the promised future through a toilet paper tube, only to be shocked that more existed than they were seeing.
It is not like they were not warned.
