There's another American in Norway on this hellsite‽ Although I'm a second-generation immigrant rather than an "expat".

I don't think I've really "messed with" people when they ask those sorts of questions, not yet at least. I just say openly that I voted PSL, that a lot of people are disillusioned with the two-party system, and that I'm worried about my family and friends and all the other people trapped in this deteriorating situation.

Yeah I think there are about 18,000 Americans in Norway. A big chunk of that is Mormons. More Trump supporters than i thought too.

For me I can't really hide my American accent and I'm not fluent in Norwegian yet. It just gets really annoying because I don't want to talk about politics every five goddamn seconds. A Norwegian trump supporter tried to Amerisplain me last night and I about lost it.

Love the idea of pretending that I don't know who he is.

Oh good god, the whole point of wanting to emigrate is THEY’RE the people I’m trying to get away from.

Mormons actually have high percentage ancestry from Denmark, because they went there to proselytise. I guess its a traditions thing.
