In the last few months, I've met two Americans in Berlin with whom I discussed politics, given what's happening in the US. Both in the context of a social project.
One is a university student and the other is a freelancer. Each is part of a minority group: one is LGBT, and the other is a black woman.
I was surprised that neither seemed interested in discussing the state of American democracy. When I asked one of them who was going to visit the US if they used social media, I was told only Instagram. They are only on it to keep in touch with people and have a very *neutral* political position. Of course I respectfully didn't continue the conversation on this topic.
Have you experienced similar behavior? What are Americans going abroad thinking about the political scene in the US?
@everton137 I think there's just not much to discuss.
Voters in the US aren't interested in electing a reasonable, responsible government, so what's there to say?
It's like a bad sitcom. There's just not much to say about it.
