You can't get any more delusional than that. We're talking rock bottom levels of intelligence and reasoning here. It's quite fascinating.

The # of people crossing the border is waaaay down (due to fear probably), so in a way that's a promise kept. The rest is still in progress
It's got less to do with intelligence, it's a function of belief and the way our brains work, the deck is stacked against changing one's core beliefs. Doing so is difficult and usually takes commitment to change, and most people just lead regular lives instead of spending that much effort and commitment to finding a more "true" answer.
Otherwise elections wouldn't always be decided by get-out-the-vote efforts combined with a few percentage points of available swayable voters.
One of the benefits of a more-than-two-party system I guess, harder to get generationally entrenched into partisanship.
