"Political movement subreddits tend to be more active, particularly during the initial phase of excitement over a candidate. As then-US-presidential-candidate Donald Trump gained momentum in April of 2016, roughly 62% of r/The_Donald's 90,000 subscribers commented on the subreddit; by early 2019, after Trump had been elected President, 7% of subscribers were commenting. In mid-2015, 20% of SandersForPresident's 62,000 subscribers were commenting, rising to 32% by March 2016 before dipping to 13% by July of 2016."
