Americans still talk about politics over dinner.

This advice is more about protecting Europeans from an uncomfortable experience on vacation because of exposure to political views they will find objectionable, than about some fundamental inability to talk about politics in the U.S.

I'm exposed to political views I find "objectionable" just by talking to my parents. You put five of my family into one room, and we'll be voting for six different parties. If everyone agreed there wouldn't be much to talk about.

Though calling political views you disagree with "objectionable" as in "offensive" is starting on the wrong foot already. You can't convince someone of your POV by acting offended.
