You’re describing circular polarization. It’s not the only way.
Comment on 50ohm goes brrrrrr

Just to point out, because it’s bothering me way more than it should…
But the electric and magnetic peaks align with each other’s valleys, not with each other’s peaks.

Yeah, because it’s not pulsing in intensity, it’s pulsing between which kind of energy it’s being

Well it’s wrong. I suppose you are thinking so because Maxwell’s equations shows B depending on (∆E/∆t)[i cant write \partial symbol], BUT remember LHS is not B but is curl(B) so derivative acts on both sides. So they are in phase and not 90° out of phase. So the peaks should align

Maybe it’s showing polarization superpositions of the E-field?

No, they fucking don’t
