Replacing a stacked bar plot with a dot plot in R with ggplot2 (CC352)

Pat uses R to show how to create a dot plot as an alternative to stacked bar plots like the one posted by the Pew Research Center describing people's sense of how different groups will fare under the Trump Administration. To pull this off he uses the ggplot2, showtext, and ggtext packages. The functions he uses from these packages include aes, coord_cartesian, element_blank, element_markdown, element_rect, element_text, factor, font_add_google, geom_hline, geom_point, ggplot, ggsave, labs, library, margin, mutate, pivot_longer, rev, scale_color_manual, showtext_auto, showtext_opts, theme, tribble, and unit.
