Right-wing paranoia empirically verified

A study using Trendrr of the search term "center-right nation" has shown a huge spike just after election day. As conservatives cry in their bourbon and insist their ideology is still right (it is, but correct it is not), they've taken to blathering on about how, election results be damned, this is still a conservative nation.

This trend study doesn't tell us how many of the "center-right nation" references are saying this is "not a center-right nation", but it's safe to assume that most, if not all, of those references are in fact countering right-wing claims - adding to the absurd level of discussion this term is getting.

Click on the graph to chart it's use in real-time.

And if you still think America IS a center-right nation, peruse this and click the map for a link to more data.
