Adding the connection between the two sets is as misleading as adding a line between discreet datapoints. If you want to really understand this, I suggest you repeat the visualization with a sankey diagram using absolute numbers.

I'm sure you're not trying to be misleading, but this is a very flawed way of showing this data, and you can see it has misled by the number of salivating anti-woke or dog whistle comments in this post.
