Pretty simple question: how was the Taliban able to re-take Afghanistan? After over a decade of American military presence, how was the Taliban even able to survive? How/why did the people of Afghanistan not fight back / prevent the Taliban from taking over?

Because the US had a strong presence in the urban areas, but never fully took control of the rural areas of the country. They were constantly being resupplied in Pakistan where the US wasn’t allowed to chase them and through black market deals with Russia.
