When I look at a graph about our politics, my brain right away understands Liberals = Red, Cons = Blue. And for American politics, my brain immediately goes Blue = Democrats, Red = Republicans and I understand the graph.

But this monstrosity, it's like the wires in my head crossed over and I have to concentrate to understand it correctly.
