Kamala's personality of being a "career politician" combined with her being somewhat clumsy in interviews and public appearances was more of an issue than their policy platform imo. She was like the establishment manifested in an individual.

The Trump phenomena - both times - reminds me of the Brexit vote here in the UK where people didn't care how crazy or self-damaging the alternative option was due to their visceral hatred of the establishment and elites.
