Time to wrangle us away from going retard on this. Think about the claim in the video.

X = Rep-straight-party / total-sp, Y = X - (Trump-non-sp / total-non-sp)

1. Just graph the two rates if you want to relate them. The use of this substraction thing isn't justified in the video and he can barely explain it.

2. Think about it this way:. If your rep-sp (x) is zero, then the lowest possible y value is zero since the lowest possible non-sp-rate for trump is zero. So, in terms of possible numbers, we know this graph can only have negative y's as large as X's are positive. (So let's not be shocked that it looks that way)

3. The fit line with the turn is not mathematically derived (looks like they drew it by eye)

4. Graphing same plot for biden in those counties has similar best fit slope.

This dude is probably knowingly full of shit. Its cool though, he's so smart that scott adams can't use his years of experience as a useless excel jockey with zero intellectual rigor to assess his retarded powerpoint.
