I ( /u/MAGA-by-MYGA ) analyzed 135,259 comments from the twelve election night megathreads on /r/politics ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ), and 88,482 comments from the six "MAGAthreads" on /r/The_Donald ( 1 2 3 4 5 6 ). Here's what I found.

This graph shows the number of comments per minute over the night of November 8-9, 2016. The dots indicate when each new thread was posted. "Include Trump supporters in /r/politics" means to count comments in /r/politics by users who were also posting in /r/The_Donald; uncheck the box to exclude such comments. (We can assume that everyone posting in /r/The_Donald is a Trump supporter, while /r/politics is nominally open to everyone.)

Based on the text of all of these comments, I made a wordcloud for each subreddit. For the /r/politics wordcloud, the size of each word is proportional to:

(Frequency of the word in /r/politics) — 5×(Frequency of the word in /r/The_Donald)

For the /r/The_Donald wordcloud, the formula is reversed:

(Frequency of the word in /r/The_Donald) — 5×(Frequency of the word in /r/politics)

This formula automatically gets rid of common words that would otherwise predominate, like "the", "a", "and"... However, I did manually combine different forms of the same word (e.g. "candidates" and "candidate").
