I don't travel for business very often - and not at all since 2000 or 2001. There are all sorts of people in this world, but I cannot imagine that many business travelers care to discuss politics with total strangers. And while on vay-cay? Much less so. 
I will say, though, that while Mrs. SVPete and I were in England for a few days last spring that a couple of English people (cab drivers, I think) asked us about Donald Trump and we asked a little about the impending Brexit vote. Unlike DU's DFW, we aren't super well of, and that was a once in a decade trip for us.
That's pretty accurate.
I can't tell you how many trips I had to go on for work, and I saved the hundreds of boarding passes just for the fun of it.
People are squelched, especially in airports and hotels. 95% of them are focused on a singular thing: trying to get where they need to be without getting lost or being late.
Even on the plane, packed in coach, I was never confronted with a political discussion. I could never sleep on the plane because I snore so damned loud... which left me open to those sitting around me. I'd say a good 3/4 of my seat partners wanted to yack... but it was always where you from, what do you do for a living type stuff. People simply don't engage in controversial debate with people they don't know... not unless they can do it online.
I don't know about you guys, but a lot of times I forget that almost all people are cordial in public. They don't want conflict and tend to be polite and courteous. This of course excludes being online or driving or similar places where they feel they are detached and won't have to suffer the consequences of rudeness or anti-social behavior.
For me, this is caused by my sitting at my desk for WAY too many hours a day, filling time between phone calls reading the DUmp and other similar stuff. I tend to forget that most people would never do this in public, and leftys will never do it without a backing mob.
I'd bet a paycheck that in the event I was unfortunate enough to come face to face with any of these DUmp-monkeys and we both knew exactly who the other was, the conversation would be mostly cordial and kept as short as possible.
We all live by the same rules, and all but maybe a couple of them over there would avoid conflict just as I would, not matter what level of posturing you see from them online. Those idgits are simply living out their twisted fantasies in mob fashion, nothing more.
