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?

This was a referendum on biden. People don't like him. They voted him out, and at every opportunity Harris showed that besides the gender, age and race, they were the same person
