Both things can be true, but it’s funny that two opposite sounding replies came to this one comment about US politics.

    Because there was only one point made? The US is pretty damn homogeneous compared to the EU.

      You’re the first person to bring up language? As if that’s the only thing that can differ between places lmao.

        Having different languages is kinda a big deal. It means different stories growing up, different cultural practices, different emphasis across different interpretations of history. Americans may have a lot of geography between each other, but the cultural difference isn’t all that wide.

            If you say so.

            How does it compare to the difference between Finland and Greece?

              I’d actually say that Finland is closer to Greece than Orange County is to like Trimble, but I haven’t spent much time in Finland outside of Helsinki and Enontekio. But the point isn’t who has the most different, it’s “is EU to US a more apt comparison than any individual European country is to the US?”

              Netherlands and Poland would have been a better example for you to bring up than Greece and Finland honestly.
