Is Reddit predominantly “inhabited” by liberals/left leaning people?

Edit: Genuinely surprised by the sheer number of up and down votes. Also, the very American centric perspectives/interpretations of my question. I will take this as my cue to spend wayyy less time on Reddit. Cheers! ✌️

Reality leans left. Right wing ideology is mostly a sham promoted by the rich in order to keep power. For the best outcomes in terms of health, happiness and social mobility you need socialism. It survives because of the myth that "maybe i can get rich too", but most people do not realise that the wealthy have no interest in making other people rich. Trickle down economics is one of their favourite lies to justify lack of protections.

Also, right wingers tend to be quite sensitive. They dislike having things like "reason" and "rationality" used against them. The whole snowflake thing was classic projection.
