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.

I mean… yes and no. I am aggressively progressive and rather socialistic, and I have seriously enjoyed the time I’ve spent in Thailand - the food is INCREDIBLE, and I’d love to get the chance to explore the country more. And Thailand is relatively inexpensive, not counting the flights.

But I also really enjoy Japan and pretty much everywhere I’ve been to in Europe. And on the flip side, besides the food (yes that’s a pattern for me lol), I’m not a huge fan of SK - it’s just so hypercapitalistic and shopping-centric (at least in Seoul, which is where I’ve spent the vast majority of my time there), which really isn’t my speed.

I didn’t mean that leftists or progressives don’t. Just saying there are reasons for conservatives to visit.

Fair point
