Well-designed infographics pertaining to politics are often shared widely on social media outlets, including Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, etc. I think images with graphs and figures are popular and desirable because they offer easily readable and digestible information. The sharing of these infographics ramp up during election seasons, and I think one of the main reasons why they become so widespread is that so many people have strong opinions with regard to anything political. There is usually an emotional or personal connection that triggers people to share this kind of information with their networks.
