So why did they win? (lemmy.sdf.org)
submitted 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago) by HorseRabbit to c/chapotraphouse@hexbear.net

The majority of Americans who voted, at least in the swing states, have voted for the republicans. Why? Do the republican policies reflect popular opinion? Or is it that their vibes are more aligned with the public? Or maybe people are worse off now than they were 4 years ago and are hoping to turn back time? As a non-american I don't quite get it. People must think their lives will materially improve under the republicans, but why?

It’s the economy. Everyone thinks the president has the power to fix the economic agenda.
