Search trends are not useful for population studies. For example, did you even bother comparing the search trends you presented to other election years?

Yeah, questions about vot8ng will always spike after an election, not having numbers makes that increase meaningless. There was another image comparing these trends to people searching for tailor swift, which was like 8 times higher than these trends in any point of the curve. So high that the increase of this question was even hard to see.

I hate people that manipulate data presentation to twist results.
