So why did they win? (lemmy.sdf.org)

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?

"everyone who disagrees with me is a bad person and/or an idiot" is maybe not the hard realization they need

I didn't know you were allowed to be this insufferably smug about 'human rights' after voting for a loser that is literally second in command for an admin that is funding and supplying diplomatic cover for an ongoing genocide

To say nothing of their immigration policies, which are to the right of fucking George W Bush (and were going to be to the right of Donald Trump)

Not to mention giving billions to out-and-proud nazis forcibly conscripting civilians to fight/be meatshields
