I think the socialism fear-mongering probably worked in Florida, but for everyone else that unexpectedly voted Republican, especially down ballot, I suspect it was law and order. That defund/abolish the police nonsense really made its way into the national discourse in a way that it never should have. I don't think Republicans would've gotten this surge of support had the election taken place in the immediate aftermath of the riots in response to Floyd's murder in Minnesota, but after several months of on-again off-again rioting I think it probably started to convince people to vote Republican.
