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
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
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”
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
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
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

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?)
Yeah that was a bit weird.
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”.

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.
Apple? Plz. We buy PCs and load on Linux.
Nah that’s the communists
Dem by Apple, Leftists put linux on potatoes
It should definitely be beer instead of Pepsi on the red side.
I guess it’s a compliment that they put Japanese food on the blue side? Although they love fried chicken at Christmas.
Reds are always fighting soft drink regulation though
Then why not Coca-Cola? It fits the color schemes.
Because coke put out an internal training video that they outsourced production on, where someone mentioned “try to be less white” and I had to hear about it more than once on our way to grandma’s funeral. Now they drink Pepsi while complaining about cancel culture.
Huh, this kinda thing happens so often it seems I missed this one.
Good.
Been saying forever “keep the government out of my bedroom,” hate that I now have to add “and fridge.”
I just want gay married weed farmers to be able to drink Coke while they defend their farms with ar15s.
Apple? Nah fuck no lol
I saw this cartoon a while back.
Democrat’s View of the World = A globe with USA shown divided between Red and Blue and the rest of the world in various pastels. There are a few black skull spots labeled ‘Terrorism.’
GOP View of the World = Same globe, except there are only two colors. The USA Red States and everything else is ‘Terrorism.’
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
Tesla goes on the other side actually tbh tbh
I see it as a generic electric car.
Fair - the shape is definitely Tesla tho and it would be entirely reasonable to have that association.
