Politics as consumerism. They got us dead to rights.
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 read that as “Left is in constant debate with itself” vs. “Right shakes hands and gets down to business”*
*^^horrible ^^horrible ^^business
Clearly the republican picture is attempting to depict the marriage photo of Hank and Peggy Hill.
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.
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.
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.

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
Why should they get coke?
I’m just going to assume they mean the powdered variety
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.
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.
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.
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
Y’all better move fried chicken back over that line right fuckin now.
“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.
Trade for Starbucks
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.

Your mistake is thinking democrats are “the left” lol

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?
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.

They even got Chuck Norris’s political affiliation correct. Not that it’s a hard guess.
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
At first, I thought the catcher was a guy crouched with a gun and was shooting the batter in the ass.
That girl in the red dress needs to be about 15 years younger
The batter got shot in the hip!
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”.
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.
