Thailand is more right wing than left but it appears that 75% of farangs are centre left to far left. Why move to a right wing nation? Why spend 8 years whingeing about Trump?

Considering many of the discussion topics, it may have something to do with TH's tolerance to homo & bisexuals, not that there is anything wrong with either.

Link to the 75 % please.

Did you know that in many Western countries they have a lot more parties to choose from than in the USA and there are much more graduations than left and righ?

Why are people supporting trump a well know racist, live in a non-white country?

There is no link. Just how people are on here. Maybe the righties avoid here more.

Only if you are to the right of Hitler.

Biden was a known racist.

Hitler was a socialist so most people were to his right.

Because most of them were leftist virgins when they arrived.

Why do you think Thailand is "right-wing"?  I would say it offers a perfect liberal environment for those of us with liberal sensibilities and views.  I can't see the average Trump supporter fitting in very well here!

Because the left suffers from the conundrum of internal contradictions

First off no its not. The last election MF won by far the most seats and also really won the popular vote. This was quite left wing, yet the right wing dinosaurs blocked it all. 

 

Nong if you know nothing about Thailand or its politics so it might be better to just keep your mouth shut. Add to that you dont live in the LOS and post to troll.

Thailand is a right wing nation. The last election means didley. I don't post to troll at all. I post the truth which you can't handle. Your posts are largely pathetic. Western nations have far more social and welfare programs than Thailand does because they are far more left wing. You left a left wing nation to live in a right wing nation and I'm wondering why. Cheap sex is probably right.

Google it. 

A lot of expats who moved a while ago have fond memories of an American left and a Democratic Party that no longer exist.  And all they watch is the MSM, which is intent on normalizing behaviors that were taboo just a few years ago.

I'm a Trump supporter and I love Thailand. Right wing principles of freedom. Loads of examples of capitalism. Markets everywhere. Socialist western nations would close these markets for hygiene standards and probably ban them. Road rules in Thailand are very right wing ie barely exist. Socialist western nations fine you $1000 for using a mobile phone or $400 for not wearing a seat belt.

I'd see the average Trump supporter fitting in well here. 
Thailand espouse traditional values; Trump conservatives espouse traditional values.
Thailand is anti-abortion; Trump conservatives or anti-abortion.
Thais are spiritually inclined although Buddhist and Animist; Trump conservatives are spiritually inclined albeit Christian.
I could go on.  Thailand is conservative and traditional; Trump conservatives are conservative and traditional.  So are most people in SE Asia and ASEAN.

To answer the last part of the question its because he deserves it for espousing verbal diarrhea much akin to the first part of your assumption/question.

I tried to keep an open mind for decades to the liberal ideas the media kept pushing on us.  Now I just wholesale reject all liberal ideas as poison. 

 

One by one my liberal buddies dropped like flies as they could not carry on a pleasant conversation but just wanted to dictate why they were right.  It got old being preached to by know-it-all liberal zombies.  When confronted their face turned red and they started shaking.  

 

Self sufficiency free from tyranny is how I live my life.

I believe this was posted by Elon Musk on X, but it captures my own experience since the late 1960s.  I was a classical liberal then, I'm a classical liberal now.  What moved was that both the Left and the Right moved left.  That move is wayyyyy more pronounced over the last 50 years back when I was marching in anti-war protests and voting Democrat.


 

Why are there so many farang lefties in Thailand?

 

I guess times they are a changing and the less parochial, wealthier and more intelligent see the benefits of retiring to developing nations.

Yes the right has not moved at all. Many on the left have gone mad.

Regardless of your politics, if you support a racist, you are a racist.  If you support someone who mocks the handicapped, you are just as much a lowlife.

It's not about politics any longer. It's about morality.  Thailand doesn't give a damn about who you will vote for in another country, so it's comfortable to be an extremist for both sides.

So you think everyone who doesn't support Trump must be a left winger?  I can think of many examples to the contrary....Adam Kinzinger, Liz Cheney, Geoff Duncan, etc.  There's quite a few conservatives and moderates who just simply hate Trump.  Can't say I blame them.

Not true, he was a fascist dictator.
