I can tell that you're a Trump supporter: You're taking this completely out of context.

Things like these are done through a data system referred to as GIS, or Geographic Information Systems. It's a compilation of software that measures the geographic and social trends of individuals. It's used all the time in marketing. For example, do you have a grocery store discount card? Those are nothing but ways to track what you buy and where you go in the store. Products are then rearranged and placed in spaces where people are more likely to buy them. Campaigning this way is no different.

The analysis shows you are generally a whiner. You will now receive cheese advertisements on your computer to go with that whine.
