Of out this set of countries, I agree; but she/he specifically quoted a sentence from your original comment, therefore I think his/her observation is fine.

By living there most of my life.

Ah! Which country are you in, if I may ask? I'd like to look it up!
(In return: I'm currently in Germany, Netherlands. These countries are considerably left of the USA in terms of eg socialized health care and education, views on woman's rights, and general permissiveness and openness to new ideas.)
What do you consider right/left wing in this context, and how is the country you are in right wing? (Perhaps you're in Singapore or so?)
These can be:
* Native speakers: From eg. USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, Ireland.
* People who speak English as a second language (which is most of the western world including western Europe)
In general out of this set of countries, the USA tends to be fairly (economically) conservative and right-leaning. (Compare with eg. Netherlands, Norway, Germany, France, Canada, New Zealand, etc. )
What makes you say that countries in eg. Asia are more right leaning than the USA? That surprises me a bit.
