You have to remember that big cities like London and Paris are always liberal like in the states. Go in the country and small towns and their political views often change drastically, just like the states.
really paw paw, you dont say.
I was in a town I lived in for a quite a while and still own a home in, I think I know the political leanings there far better than you but thanks for your advice.
Do you even read post before responding?
And for clarity sake IDGAF she was bad mouthing Trump, I just found it rude and boring and ignored her.

well.
since my sister labels me a "radical ultra conservative" and i'd prefer not having to vote for a liberal like president trump.
so..
it is generally polite (and appreciated by travel companions) if i bail out of political conversations as opposed to getting into 3 hour debates on how their country is a shining example of the deadends of socialism.
no thanks.
if i dont like the politics of somewhere.. i'll simply move or go elsewhere.
i have no desire to try changing how people think. (or vote in their country)
i will say..
in latin american..most folks worth knowing are actually on the conservative side...
conservative enough.. where not long ago landowners(in central colombia) collectively funded "security" to keep the freeloading commie types from squatting and ruining their lands
(was pretty darn affective too)

Bruh I didn’t quote you did I? I was just responding to the thread. Sorry you’ve been on the rig so long and need to get laid or something. But chill out.
My point still stands, people think everyone in the UK for instance is as liberal as Londoners. But the fact is it’s like people in Chicago compared to the rest of the state.
