Search up the early 2017 NY Times article where they tried to reverse engineer what Trump campaign actually did, using data mining and analysis. I do not go to that Chernobylesque lizard demon infested hive mind for anything anymore. I will see if I can churn it up. Basically, some leftards decided to stop russiarussiarussiareeeing long enough to try and figure out what went wrong beside russia hacking facebook for Trump. So they looked at the particular places trump spent money, what time, what channel, etc snd dug into demographics etc, Duck Dynasty viewership etc. Then it got to complicated for them to model, besides they have billions to brute force buy votes outright instead of building similar models to research with. Convincing voters is too much work so they returned to lie smear rinse repeat.

Thanks! They did have a handful of articles, for a few months after the election, that legit asked what they did wrong.

The article was definitely a one off, in early 2017 well before Cambridge Analytica scapegoating.

Got it. Heat maps can help you see what you may be seeking.

lol, I'm so dumb. Just looked at your map. Hilarious! That's a super good cross section not a cross-section but you get the idea and metapolitical observation. I'm impressed! lol. Well done, MarySmith! Very cool.
