Some of these are fundamental divides.

Reddit user vishplease put together some interesting visuals that show how the U.S. electoral map would shake out based on Republican or Democrat responses to single-issue topics.

The first one asks how serious of a problem racism is in the country. And the divide between Biden and Trump voters could hardly be any clearer.

How serious a problem is racism in U.S. society?

The same stark contrast can be seen in answer to the question, "How often, if at all, do you attend religious services?"

You could probably guess how this one divides, but it's still interesting to see just how neatly Trump and Biden voters fall inline depending on how they answer this question.
