Different cultures
It's an illusion that you should see a country just by its leadership and current cultural hegemony. Every region at nearly every time of history has had multiple factions, particularly through migrations, co-existance, and natives in colonized lands.
Every country, every region, has complexity. Every population group has complexity. Like people in the 50% Republicans think they understand all of the 1% trans, but that 1% trans population has their own cultures & divide too
Different cultures
All of human experience is complex and fascinating. It should be treated that way. Anyone who simplifies humanity is selling you something.
