A silly little project

This is for all the people who were wondering, "How could they have done this to us?" This is how:



Enjoy.

No, I didn't pull this all out of my ass. Only some of it. I have fit this Venn diagram to all of the relevant facts I had available, and have employed a patchwork of axiomatic guesses and rules to the immeasurable quantities, designing said rules to fit such data as I could find (for example, nationwide voting rates and exit poll statistics). A further disclaimer: What you infer from this graph may not be deliberately implied.

As an example of both of the above, I make no claim that there is a direct causal relationship between being stupid and voting for Bush. I started with the basic assumption that half of all people are stupid. I made half of the stupid people Democrats by default, and half of them Republicans. I then accounted for the effect of the Republican party's loudly and frequently repeated lies, which, upon reaching 70% of the general population in significant levels, would have an 80% chance of swaying those stupid people who are reached.

See, I'm fair. Speaking of which, don't worry, Dems! I'll make one for you next. (Maybe next week; I have a delightfully busy weekend ahead.)

( You don't really want to know how I came up with these numbers, do you? )
