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 got multiple ads that were straight up threats of public shaming by your peers if you don't vote and they look you up in the record

I'll admit I'm paranoid because my adoptive family is abusive but all I can see those ads doing is making some poor woman's/adult child's life harder and more likely to be forced to vote trump
