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?

I'm very confused about it, it feels to me like somebody is planning to leak a database of who voted for who (which is suppose to be impossible but that's easy to lie about), very ominous shit either way.

Apparently what it was supposed to be was "It's safe to a vote for a democrat because your GOP husband can't check your voting record to see who you voted for."

at the same time though, libs were claiming their canvassers were asking the GOP men in households to speak to their democrat voting wives and getting rebuffed.

That seems like it would make things worse?
