Your young correspondent could profitably read "The Myth of Left and Right", by Hyrum and Verlan Lewis. (Also, Substack should let me underline and italicize.)
In this vein, when you wrote, "I talked with several right-of-center Danes who had long been pro-American," what was it about those Danes' policy preferences, philosophies, or what-not that caused you to define them as "right-of-center"?
Thank you, Jay, for saying the truth about Trump. Unpleasant truth.

Or, what does he mean by "center?"
Yes, that would be a good thing to know, as well, before one gets into "left" or "right" or "north" or "south" or whatever.
My prediction is that the emphasis will prove to be on "vibes" rather than concrete details.
