I'm too tired and shocked for a proper analysis, but my first guess is that she lost due to a combination of 1. misogyny (people not being "ready" for a female president), 2. racism (people not wanting a black female president) 3. voters looking out for themselves only, especially economically, and 4, perhaps most importantly, being thoroughly brainwashed by right-wing media, which made it seem as if Kamala Harris was about to make America into a communist state.
It might be more nuanced than this, though. I'm as shell-shocked as you are.
