I don't think this person lives in Asia - the moved to the US or are maybe 1st generation born here. I think they probably live in a deep blue liberal -------- that votes 80% blue and then projects that onto their parents and former country.

I can tell you first hand that Vietnam is probably 75/25 in support of Trump. They love his tough on China policies as it directly benefits them. Also, they do not understand our immigration system where they cannot even get a travel visa to the US for fear of overstaying the visa yet have the southern border wide open.

In Korea, they love Trump because they didn't feel there were on the brink of nuclear annihilation when he was in office. Now, N Korea has moved combat troops to the border and the fear is that is Iran/Israel trade serious bombs, N Korea will invade and overrun Seoul within a few hours as it is too close to the border.

For Taiwan, it is the same as Korea. They support whichever party they think will protect them better from China. Recently, they have also become very concerned about the everything GAY coming out of the US as they are a more traditional society.

In Philippines, it is still dominated by religion and their positive experience with Duterte. The realize a completely dysfunctional country sometimes needs a strongman to bring real change. Also, due to abortion and everything GAY, they cannot support the Democrats.

Well, that is my take from actually living in East and Southeast Asia for the last 12 years. I don't think this author actually resides in Asia but rather resides in a blue bubble and is probably seen as a disappointment to their parents back in the home country as they go past 35 without a husband or becoming a doctor.
