I’d like to echo what others have said about Poland not being all that bad.
Southeastern Europe is a lot worse. They were under occupation by the Turks for 500 years, then by Russia for half a century. As someone raised in that region, I would have to think long and hard to come up with anything positive to say about Russian or Turkish influence.
So according to that graph you linked, Harris would have won everywhere except the bottom 8 countries, one of which is Russia and some have elected Russia friendly governments. Also out of those 7 countries, Slovenia, Slovakia and Hungary were not under Russian or Turkish influence. They were under Austrian Habsburg influence. Which only leaves Serbia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Moldova(the last two which have active Russian troops occupying their territory).
You also assume that their dislike of Harris is due to misogyny when it could be due to her policies. Even so, she would have won the election with over 50% of votes in literally 75% of European countries, some of which were under Turkish or Russian occupation or influence(Romania, Kosovo, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia, Greece and Croatia). Shit, some of these countries don’t even vote their own head of goverment with over 50% and have to hold runoff elections most of the time. Harris getting over 50% of votes means she did better than their own homegrown politicians (though I assume the result are this way because of the binary choice presented, as most European elections have a plurality of candidates and the vote is split amongst them).

Yeah, so you’re just openly racist, gotcha!
If by “Russian occupation” you mean “belonging to the communist geopolitical block of Eastern Europe”, then I ask, what good things can you come up with about your newfound American occupation?
They’re the same race as me. Their cultures are fascistic and oppressive and I’d rather die than go back. Not that American culture is that much better.
Looks into Poland:
deeply racist and patriarchal country, with its roots deeply tied to Catholicism
Average lemmitor: “IT’S ALL THE FUCKING RUZZIANS AND TURKS!!!”

Proximity to Russia is strongly correlated with fascist politics. Hence Trump’s appeal. That’s not a coincidence.
