Nigeria has Christian fundamentalist conservatism so they love Trump's anti-gay and anti-abortion government. India is hyper pro-capitalist so they love billionaires owning everything.

These first two sound totally more believable than my theory about language, but

South America is pro-apartheid and they mostly love Elon Musk.

Assuming you meant South Africa, you totally lost me here. The major major majority of people in South Africa are black, they are not pro-apartheid. Neither is the biggest political party, which you might know because it was the the party of Nelson Mandela (that dude that fought apartheid his entire life). I don't think there is any country so not fond of Musk as South Africa (aside from a very small percentage that might totally love him). Although it likely isn't totally unrelated that Musk is from SA.

Poland should love Trump

They might have if Trump wasn't so supportive of their previous occupier, the hate against Russia in former Sovjet states runs deep.

Fair enough. yeah my south African one was a guess that there might be a large population of conservative holdouts but I'm afraid I don't know much about the country in recent years.
