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?

At least in PA, a more important swing state, people are so fucking racist and xenophobic, think trump will save them money, and are still annoyed there were minor precautions against covid

Some voted third party or not at all because of the genocide but I don't think that alone is enough to explain why he won
