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
Context?
Embrace your inner fascist and cross the line yourself to get the chicken you deserve
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.
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
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
Wtf why do the republicans get the fried chicken???
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

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.
Apple? Plz. We buy PCs and load on Linux.
Nah that’s the communists
Dem by Apple, Leftists put linux on potatoes
You make it sound like leftists are belarusians.
See! Red! Wait, that’s communism.
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
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.
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
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? Nah fuck no lol
Politics as consumerism. They got us dead to rights.
serious question: what are the two Dems at the top doing? Is he refusing to shake her hand? Was he going in for a hug?
I think it’s supposed to be clothing and talking style is more casual on left and more formal on right.
hand gestures while discussing
Maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_¯
haha, that’s exactly the guy’s posture. But yes, it’s probably just meant as more casual hand gestures vs formal body language. I was just overthinking it
it is. trust me.
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.
