They're going to elect an authoritarian as president, surely that will bring down prices!

Search trends are not useful for population studies. For example, did you even bother comparing the search trends you presented to other election years?

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 6 points 3 days ago

Yeah, questions about vot8ng will always spike after an election, not having numbers makes that increase meaningless. There was another image comparing these trends to people searching for tailor swift, which was like 8 times higher than these trends in any point of the curve. So high that the increase of this question was even hard to see.

I hate people that manipulate data presentation to twist results.

It was just meant to be a joke not some serious documentation of information meant to be spread as absolute fact. We're in a comics group at the moment lol

It’s been coming doing for years, but much like Trump took credit for Obama’s economy, he will take credit for this too. And 50% of the country will learn the wrong lesson.
