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?

You know i never actually considered that Americans don't view protest as legitimate political action, and that there are places in the world where people do consider protest political action?

There were protests in China against zero covid and relatively soon (after years of zero covid) the policy ended
