It’s more or less accurate, except at the top where the red team guy is respecting a woman.
That image seemed more like “traditional role models, clothes and heterosexual white couples” to me
The woman’s hair should be blonder, and she should be wearing more of a tradwife dress.
Its Japanese though and I think that that IS their traditional housewife outfit.
Same for blonder, I mean they obviously k ow what blonde is but that’s probably plenty blonde to be very blonde to them.
Doesn’t make user criitz wrong.
I assumed he was buying a different woman from her
Women being owned, yeah, that tracks. But a woman owning another woman, much less being allowed to own any property. Don’t be silly.
The leopards will come for her face eventually
Clearly the republican picture is attempting to depict the marriage photo of Hank and Peggy Hill.
I read that as “Left is in constant debate with itself” vs. “Right shakes hands and gets down to business”*
*^^horrible ^^horrible ^^business
Y’all better move fried chicken back over that line right fuckin now.
Trade for Starbucks
“Dems get Black people but not fried chicken” is certainly a take
Tbf dems are more likely to be vegetarian/vegan, and more likely to be health conscious types that get grilled chicken salads and shit. At least I should say those definitely aren’t things I associate with republicans (the diets I associate with them are carnivore and keto) but with democrat voters.
Context?
Embrace your inner fascist and cross the line yourself to get the chicken you deserve
You may have one piece
Adorable how little that truck is
Japanese artist: “I drew it as large and obnoxious as possible!”
Westerners: “it’s adorable that you think that”
What an adorably truck-kun you have!
That is the largest truck that someone who’s spent their whole life in Japan can conceptualize. Japan is a land of tiny trucks.
Hummer H2s had a certain popularity in Japan for a while.

It’s an even more impractical and ridiculous car over there than it is in America, but they did it.
It’s a bicycle brand? lol
I once saw a Hummer in Japan. I have no idea how that person managed to get by in one. Some of the roads are so old that they’re barely wide enough for a regular vehicle, and rare is the oversized parking spot.
They kept the buildings and truck in proportion. Everything else, including the tesla were just enlarged to be visible.
CNN? The channel that recently spent hours dissecting every stutter and stumble Biden made and just plain refused to talk about the vicious lies and ad hom attacks Trump spent the entire debate spewing, and just didn’t find it worth mentioning how he avoided answering several super important questions? That’s who they think the left gets news from?
Like, at least put the NPR on there lol.
Your mistake is thinking democrats are “the left” lol
Yeah, it’s hard to explain in the US and Canada, where there are only two major parties, that they don’t represent two ends of a political spectrum. They’re just two dominant parties that have different ideas; on a lot of things, they even agree and don’t hide it.
I wish we, as kids in society, had learned more about specific right-wing and left-wing policies in history and civics so that this distinction could be made more clear. Or at least that we were taught what liberalism is and what neoliberalism is and how they’re different.
But we didn’t and weren’t, so when people think “liberal” they think “left,” and we’re all worse off for it.
But we didn’t and weren’t
Deliberately of course, precisely to maintain ignorance, and keep the Overton window firmly on the right…
so when people think “liberal” they think “left”
Ouch.
I guess both have crazy US-only meanings, because well, “liberal” is the core of the right-wing idea.
Yes, that’s exactly what I mean. It’s nuts that a word means something totally different in one specific area of the world because it’s politically convenient to ignore what it actually means.
All such descriptors are relative; by definition, the Democratic Party is “left.”
The only left US-politician in the last 200 years is Bernie Sanders. The rest of the democrats are just on the “left” side from every GOP statement. Which doesn’t make the democrats left.
You say shit like that and expected to be taken seriously? Even if you were conceptually correct, Eugene Debs is right there. Educate yourself, son.
Who said I expected to be taken seriously?
You may want to familiarize yourself with the term “colloquialism”.
That doesn’t magically make democrats “the left” (E: and therefore doesn’t explain why they wouldn’t be fans of CNN, being centrists, at best) lmao
Their change has been fairly recent. They have a right winger running the show now and he wants to court more Republicans.
He was even quoted as saying (paraphrasing) “fox news has a good model to emulate, all opinion shows surrounding an actual news show.”
/Vomit
But that is a good model. Separate the opinion shows from the news shows.
That’s not what they mean, they already are separated they just act like they’re news and have the little “opinion” thing on the bottom of the screen for legal purposes.
What CNN seems to be saying is they want more opinion shows than actual news. When your show is classified as opinion you can lie as much as you want as long as it’s not slandering a corporation that will sue you (dominion and fox)
That’s where they think Democrats get their news from. Notice the donkey.
How did they not put any guns?
would be controversial to portray guns in a casual context
Tell that to a Republican
They can’t hear you over the sounds of gun shots
That girl in the red dress needs to be about 15 years younger

No older males on the right? This graphic is “woke”, cancel it, demonize the Japanese, deport them.
Wtf why do the republicans get the fried chicken???
Ha ha. Eat it, libs!
Wait not like that!
Or Pepsi and baseball? It should be the NFL and Coke instead of those two.
Why should they get coke?
Coke started in Georgia, is huge across the south. Has marketed itself as like a family friendly or wholesome nostalgia brand for a long time. Which plays really well with the old white people.
So we’ll in fact, there are swap meets and clubs for collecting Coke memorabilia. https://www.cocacolaclub.org/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=534374&module_id=394442
I’ve run across these meets/conventions while traveling for work. All the attendees are boomers.
They also have their history with Nazis, so it doubly fits.
I’m just going to assume they mean the powdered variety

only Americans who go to KFC drink Pepsi.
Yes and those people who go to KFC are less likely to be Republicans which is what this graphic is breaking down.
Brands do demographic surveys all the time. Chick-fil-A is the top fried chicken place for self-identified Republicans. And also happens to serve coke products exclusively.
Asia is full of KFCs with Pepsi fountains

To me, the least accurate part is picking baseball to represent the right. I would’ve gone with wrestling, NASCAR, or maybe even football.
(I know the Japanese play baseball themselves… maybe it has a right-wing connotation there that’s influencing the choice?)
One of the first words Japanese language learning resources teach you is the word for baseball. It’s 野球 yakyuu (“field ball”) btw
棒球 (bàngqiú) in Chinese. Sort of means “stick/bat ball”, but also maybe “awesome ball”.
Yeah that was a bit weird.
Japan has one of the more popular gridiron football scenes outside of the US. They also have one of the biggest wrestling & motorsports scenes. That said, I wouldn’t be calling any sport really political on one side or the other but a general working-class pasttime.

Definitely NASCAR.
A Republican man respecting a woman? Unrealistic.
The handshake is a ruse. He’s exploiting her. She’s probably got a startup and he’s providing some kind of building blocks she needs and she’s paying out the nose because she needs his shit. He’s probably hitting on her with cheap jewelry.
Apple? Plz. We buy PCs and load on Linux.
Dem by Apple, Leftists put linux on potatoes
You make it sound like leftists are belarusians.
Nah that’s the communists
See! Red! Wait, that’s communism.
Don’t think I believe the apple vs windows thing, but the rest looks about right.
It’s not even a windows thing, it’s specifically HP…which makes even less sense LMAO
I believe it. And it seems more of an Apple vs PC representation in the image.
How is apple vs PC different from apple vs windows?
What makes you believe more Democrats are apple users?
How is apple vs PC different from apple vs windows?
Oh man. Well, first of all, you’re about to be accosted by a hundred GNU/Linux users.
Secondly Windows is an OS, while PC is generally a hardware spec. Plus the PC on the right shows HP, which is not Windows, but rather a PC manufacturer.
What makes you believe more Democrats are apple users?
The whole thing is a generalization. I am generalizing based on personal observations.
Well, first of all, you’re about to be accosted by a hundred GNU/Linux users.
I’m not understanding the charts. Is Texas more PC or Mac?
Everywhere is more PC than Mac, by a lot. But chart shows if they only had Mac users in Texas voting, it goes deep blue. PC voters only is more split and favors Trump.
Hmm, okay. Maybe I’m being dense, but how does that tell us where one platform or the other has more liberal or conservative users?
You’re not being dense I promise, it’s a pretty useless data point. My understanding is not many people responding to the poll using a Mac chose Trump, thus it must be the liberal’s choice platform.
Would you like a nice MINT?
What about now?
That’s what the company contributions look like, not what the user base is. That’s like saying it’s mostly conservatives who drive Teslas because Tesla contributes to Republicans.
I’m Japanese and I can tell you they have no idea. The comic just makes no sense to me because of that. Most can’t even tell the difference between the two parties. They can’t even tell the difference between political left and right.
Pacifists fear Trump. Nationalists think Trump is a savior. That’s all. They are both conservatives, by the way.
Politics as consumerism. They got us dead to rights.
Apple? Nah fuck no lol
Americans known in Japan… for nigiri??
Sushi is quite popular in the US, so probably.
I’d assume American rolls would be instead of the nigiri and plain rolls as depicted
Right side should include rolls that have been fried multiple times and soaked in 4+ different sauces
I call this my twix sushi. It’s a deep fried twix, but we cut it into pieces and give you chopsticks to eat it with.
