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?

Because the democrats have done nothing but piss on people and tell them it's golden rain for 4 years, then campaign on "that guy will piss on you harder" while actively courting that guy's main supporters instead of getting votes from people who don't want to be pissed on
