    There was a great chart that showed this sort of phenomenon, I think across a range of issues, but I can’t find it. Can anybody help me out?

      I know which one you mean I think — a range of charts that showed how conservatives’ principles changed a lot depending on which party was in power while liberals’ stayed fairly consistent. I’ve just spent ages trying to find it too, thought it was on dataisbeautiful but my google-fu is also letting me down.

      I’m sure you can find many with words analogous to voters, changing, perceptions, opinion polls, etc. I know I’ve seen dozens of examples of conservatives changing their opinions dramatically based on propaganda, while everyone else — the people not indoctrinated with a mental illness — stay relatively static; as in +/- 5% instead of 10-40%.

      You will likely have to use advanced search and the internet archive. Also best to search key propaganda narratives like “migrant caravan”.

        Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m looking for, but my google-fu (or rather DDG-fu) is failing me. That’s why I’m asking for help.

        You’d think an appropriate chart would come up in a simple image search and not require archive.org. I don’t think it’s been memory-holed; I think I can’t figure out the right search terms.
