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.
