This data is anything but beautiful. Its horrendously laid out. Not intuitive in the slightest.
That's on purpose. It's a conservative opinion piece.
Aha, that explains the weird positioning of the zero axis.
If only there was a way to talk about political ideology that indicated some kind of direction, then we could orient the data in such a way that the arrows went in the direction of that ideology.
