I told Mom that, too. By putting yourself on a plane and spending money there, you are sending the message that you like France and that's the message they receive. They know that makes you different from Americans who don't come.
- orwin 2y agoHonestly, I don't think most french she will talk to will care who your mother voted for. She will probably find us 'rude', but we really aren't, we have different social software than people from the US, and some of us will probably find your mom 'too nice'. I hope she enjoys her trip here anyway.
- robocat 2y agoI'm much more interested in someone who says they voted for Trump. What makes em tick? Then again, I find people with mental health issues interesting - some of my good friends are literally crazy. There are Trump supporters that are New Zealanders too - although they are often quiet about it (due to pushback from more socialist types). The memetic infection of American partisanship and bullshit is strong here. Talk with people and hear clichéd US words and statements (left & right) regurgitated.
- BrandoElFollito 2y agoIf this is her first time in France, please tell her that the remove indifference she will be faced with has nothing to do with her being American. We are much less "surface friendly" then in the US - this is particularly visible in shops and restaurants. Nobody will greet her as if she was a long time friend. I would say this is probably the only thing that she will notice. Ah yes, and kilograms, meters and celsius. And people crossing the street on red light. And people saying fuck rather than f**k.
