Every election now sounds like whoever wins, it’s apparently the end of America.

If Democrats win, we supposedly become a communist country. If Republicans win, we supposedly become an authoritarian or quasi-fascist dictatorship.

Was American politics always this dramatic and hostile or has something changed over the last few decades?

Do people genuinely believe the other side winning will destroy America, or has fear just become the most effective way to motivate voters?

If the goal was to prevent Iran from making nukes, didn’t we accomplish it a long time ago?

Trump said we destroyed their nuclear capability to nothing, many times.

So why every-time Iran comes up, conservatives say we need to prevent Iran from making nukes?

Out of the 33,000 subscribers here, approximately how many do you think are women? Any guesses? 20%? 40%?

I believe Reddit overall is around 40% women.
I heard that Uzbek society is traditionally male dominated, so I was curious whether that’s reflected in this subreddit too.

Maybe more women participate here because Reddit gives them a space to express themselves more freely.
