The republicans ran on “fixing” the problems with policies that exacerbate the problems, and won because people don’t understand the policies and democrats didn’t do a good enough job of explaining *why* their polices are bad. This left everyone to believe the democrats’ whole campaign was just saying that Trump is a mean guy, when they should be saying exactly how his policies would hurt Americans and their pocketbooks, not that he’s an existential threat and a bad person. They know that and excuse it, because they think he’ll be good for their lifestyle and don’t care about the abject cruelty/threats to democracy.
