Cirrus Tool (Interactive)

The Cirrus visualization tool shows shows the most frequently occuring terms in the corpus (dataset) through a word cloud, with the size of the word representing the relative frequency of the term's occurence in the corpus. Use the "Terms" slider to control the number of terms shown.

Each Cirrus visualization below represents terms from all tweets containing the #MAGA hashtag sent on each respective day. Hovering over terms will display their frequency count.
