Yeah, I know that Upset Plots are a better choice for data visualization — as everyone is pointing out — but take a moment to appreciate this beautiful etude for what it is. This nicely executed. I love how this forced the author into some

I stopped hearing claims that it was about illegal immigration almost instantly after the debate where he claimed “they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats, they’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” It was eerie.
