Does anyone else find it ironic that he came to America because he bought into a false promise from a liberal and then was disappointed to find that the very liberal California was depressing. Sounds like he has an issue with the US politically. Maybe go to a different part of the country.

I lived in the conservative part of America, but I've also visited so called liberal cities. Believe me to Nordic like myself nothing in America is liberal. It is first and foremost a conservative society from my perspective. Facebook is supposed to promote liberal values and yet if you post a painting of a nude women or breastfeeding you immediately get into trouble. It betrays the religious conservative mindset dominating America.

Actually it is hard to talk about this with an America because you got your labels all wrong. You label things liberal and conservative in ways nobody else does which confuse more than clarifies.

The economic policy by e.g. the republican party is primarily liberal. Their social policies are conservative. The democrats are generally socially liberal and somewhat less liberal in economic policy. But neither follows what we normally associate in the rest of the world with left wing economic policy. That would be labeled socialist or social democratic.

I didn't think my terminology was confusing. In fact, just using the context you were able to figure out I was talking about America and therefor meant the American meaning of those words.

Also, my labels aren't "wrong" they are different. For example, I wouldn't call your label of conservative wrong but would just say European conservative.

Not ironic just naive.
