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?

Honestly this is why.

"Things were cheaper under trump" which is sort of true.

Sure there are the extremities of the republican party who are deadset on abortions or trans people or whatever but I promise the majority that vote republican do so because things were cheaper under trump.

Political discussion in America is not very nuanced
