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?

Oh, I thought it was because the Dems lost a lot of votes due to their support of Palestinian genocide, but I guess it was wishful thinking to think it was due to a noble cause...

the vast majority of americans dont have the slightest idea that a genocide is happening

To be fair, Dems did lose a lot of votes that simply weren't given to any candidate compared to 2020, so this could have been a factor, esp. in Michigan still being counted
