The immigration line for independents is probably mostly just reflective of the fact that the GOP was able to inject saturation level "crisis at the border" talking points into the mainstream for a minute there
Although mainstream outlets also seem like they lost interest in immigration stories once the GOP killed their own bill so I wonder if that doesn't go back down relatively quickly for low information independent types
The scary thing is the independents, the fearmongering about immigration worked and they dragged them down on caring about democracy
Oh and conservatives have gotten even more authoritarian
I'm red/green colourblind, and it does seem like so many graphs are designed using the colour bands from resistors that kept me getting told as a kid that I couldn't become an electrician
So long as you have a muiltimeter and full understanding of how every connected component is expected to interact with a resistor's leads on a PCB, and/or a few documented test pads, you don't need the color bands. I certainly don't have this skill (yet), but it's possible in theory.
my initial response: "they should make synaesthesia graphs so that patterns in the data are more distinguishable. oh yeah, that's called increase the saturation and eat a bunch of mushrooms. I think I'm going to learn R. Knowing how to use it properly is far more psychedelic than shrooms."
Honestly, this makes indies look more like mindless lemmings than GOPers to me. Changing up tactics to improve your chance of winning at least has a reasoning behind it.
"Indies" are brainless chumps who think Fox News playing 24/7 in the background is actually their internal monologue.
