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?

Dems just have nothing to offer.

Which is why they gave up on everything other than trump bad or what are you gonna do vote for orange?

Well they would have protected abortion. Which was under threat. During a Democratic administration. To which the Democrat candidate is currently serving as Vice President.

Would they have? They didn't the last 4 years. Or the 8 under Obama. Or the 8 under Clinton. What evidence is there that the Dems would have done this?

I think that was sarcasm, considering the heavy handedness of their last two sentences

None, that's what I mean. Their main promise rang hollow when Roe was overturned under the current lib president.

"Protected" in the "mobster 'insurance' scam" sense
