Errors are possible, minor inconsistencies in rounding pretty much a cert. But enjoy.

Also, is this map based on each candidate's percentage of the vote, or difference in margin? I'm guessing the former based on the map description, but just wanted to be sure.

The former, yes.

How so? It just shows that the dumbs live where we expected them to.

How is voting for George W. Bush less 'dumb' than voting for Donald Trump? Smiley

They aren't working class parties, rather they represent a set of constituencies that happen to have a working class component.

That was always the case (although I would phrase it slightly differently) actually. But increasingly the Democratic Party and its problems are quite different to those parties and theirs at a psephological level...

Clearly the fact that the working class is fleeing the Democratic Party - the ones who are supposed to be the caretaker of those forgotten and oppressed. The composition of the party is becoming something ugly. It's great when other people want to vote for you, but not when they invade and change the meaning of what that vote is for and the constituencies that benefit.

To take this further: because politics is a practical trade electoral coalitions dictate policy to a greater extent than is fashionable to admit (which is also why perceived betrayals by politicians are so toxic). Essentially if you wish to see social policies that benefit the whole of society rather than just the top whatever percent in terms of income, then recent trends in American elections are bad because they represent the dilution of class politics and the marginalisation of the American egalitarian (i.e. that which was once described as 'populist' until the word took on other connotations) tradition.

Could you elaborate?

On which issue?
