Good stuff, Marty. I especially like your quick-and-dirty breakdown of voter affiliation by degree. I can imagine this as a Copi Diagram where there's some overlap, especially from centrists to dead centrists (haha) as there's a bit of fluidity in how peoples' affiliations can change over time, but you nail it "as a snapshot" in any one given moment in time.

You made me laugh with "strident-right-light" smile

I think I am center left, but I flux a bit. And I can sometimes vote based on just "liking" or "not liking" a candidate as a person, too. I voted for Perot in '92 haha. This was my main problem with Trump: he scored very low with me on "character" and I think character is an important quality in a Prez.
