Here's another set of maps, using a more exact system - each shade represents a change of about 0.4% instead of 5-10%, so there's no party percentage key.

[Blows a lot of dust off thread]

Sorry for coming to this so late (a data-loss issue delayed things a little bit), but here are maps for the 2020 vote (using the system in the previous post).

Firstly, a map illustrating the winners' margins of victory:


Here's one showing the share of the vote received by the winner in each state:


Here we have the swing in each state:


And here we have the cumulative swing, combining both 2016 & 2020's figures - since the national percentages in 2012 & 2020 were almost identical, we can see how they've changed from state to state:



Here is a pdf showing winners' margins & vote shares for each election from 1828 to the present:

And here's another one that uses the older shading system (the one used in the images at the start of this thread):
