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 it turns out you can’t bomb a country so hard it turns into a liberal democracy.
The Taliban enjoy significant support from a large percentage of the population, as well as from international backers. They were pretty much always viewed as more legitimate than the American-backed Afghan government by the people of Afghanistan.
