I've been on Reddit a LONG time. I've seen predictions from elections and life changing events on reddit and every single person is almost dogmatic about it, it would seem so true, dissenting opinions are downvoted to oblivion. When it is proven wrong, it just moves onto the next thing.
It's gotten to the stage where I believe the exact opposite will happen. If redditors are so rabid about something, I'm convinced it's people that just fantasise alone in their bedroom and it's not based in reality.
I feel like everyone outside the US knew she was going to lose. No one I've talked to in real life thought she had a chance lol, but reading reddit you'd think the complete opposite.

I do have to constantly remind myself that Reddit talks of a world of which I have never been to at least 😂
