Hey guys
I'm from Brazil, and here it is actually very commom for girls to ask about your political position. Here we're governed by Jair Bolsonaro, who is kind of a "Trump-like" style politician. I think we are living a moment of polarization as big as in the USA, in which people assume you are good or evil according to your political compass.
As you would expect: 80~90% of 20-30 year-old girls here are left-wing. They use to have "Fora Bolsonaro (=out Bolsonaro)" written in their bios. And it is VERY COMMON (very, really) that they will ask you what's your opinion in politics. I use to joke around, change the subject or something like that. Usually it works fine.
But I got curious to ask: what do you think is the BEST response to when a girl ask you: "So what do you think about Bolsonaro/Trump?"
Thanks
Generally, you can say something like "I don't really follow politics" or something like that. In America, we have something called the "Libertarian party" & that's always a safe anwser as well, since no check can really fault you for being all about freedom. Generally, what I've noticed is that engaging with SJW/very Liberal girls is almost always a disaster, while girls in the middle or on the right you can joke around more. But as you said, avoiding politics or joking is usually the best way to go.

If you ask... Really, I'm far from a supporter. Pollitically I lean to classic british liberalism. Temperamentally, I'm quite creaive which tilts me to the left. However, I'm an individualist, not a collectivist (neither of the left nor of the right). As a free-market defensor, I admit Bolsonaro is best we've had in like a century. But only mentioning something like this would make me a fascist in the eyes of a typical brazilian 22-yo middle class chick. So ofc I don't mention.
