Boss of my sister, who’s an American lady, visited my country. Just on that base I could tell she’s left leaning, because I don’t think republican would want to visit India. It might sound trivial, but I really thought, how much do Americans really have a choice in election? No, it’s much harder to do it here, tell someone’s political leaning just by looking at their lifestyle.

Conservatives visit poorer countries all the time because they can afford a more lavish vacation there. People’s time is cheaper to purchase.

They do. They kind of change personalities when they get out of the country. Don’t know if it’s no longer being surrounded by clones to reaffirm their convictions or just the experience of being in a culture that operates on different rules than “most confident person in the room is automatically right and also a super genius”.

But I’ve seen literal chuds suddenly get very stealthy about their shit when they’re not in Murica no more
