    Where’s the data? No numbers, no percentages. Just a drawing.

            By your logic, I could post a meme of a cat, and you could count his tail then his ears. Then compare the “data.”

            And viola- DATA!

              Yes, that is literally data. It’s useless data (unlike the visualization in this post that highlights the majority of cases that have gone to court for the January 6th '21 coup attempt).
