Trump won because more people voted for him than voted for Harris. But that isn't the question.
The question is, why did more people vote for Trump than Harris?
I've been trying to explain to my left-leaning friends, but they can't or won't understand. And that, to quote Yoda, is why they fail. If you get in the head of a farmer living in rural wherever, and you try to understand how he thinks, as opposed to how you would think if you were a farmer in rural wherever, or how you think he should think, then you will understand why he voted for Trump. He isn't dumb. He's not a racist, nor a fascist nor any of the other -ists and -obes that people use to explain why a person votes for Trump. He simply believes something different than what you believe. He might well be wrong, but no one who calls him a racist or a rube or shares photos of the Statue of Liberty with a gun to her head is going to convince him that he's wrong.

Why should they try to understand!? You don't need to understand how Nazis think or why they think the way they do? You're just supposed to fight them!
A lot of people just cannot conceive of the idea that a rational person might consider Trump the better option when electing someone as president out of the choices they were given.
