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 womanโs 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.
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"
A Republican man respecting a woman? Unrealistic.
That girl in the red dress needs to be about 15 years younger
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.
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?)
Politics as consumerism. They got us dead to rights.
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 didnโt find it worth mentioning how he avoided answering several super important questions? Thatโs 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
Source? I live in Japan and haven't seen this (not surprising given I rarely read papers here), but would love context. Not seeing any in at least the first page of replies
Looks like it's from Nikkei. Doesn't seem to be a great article, which is pretty much what you'd expect if you ever see the coverage of US politics on TV here as well.

ed: oh, the caption under the graphic says "Source: Created from public opinion polls such as YouGov and Gallup." (ๅบๆ:ใฆใผใฌใใใฎใฃใฉใใใชใฉใฎไธ่ซ่ชฟๆปใใไฝๆ)
Yep, that seems to be it. Interesting, if a bit simplified, explanation in the article of US politics for a Japanese audience.
How did they not put any guns?
Apple? Plz. We buy PCs and load on Linux.
Nah thatโs the communists
Dem by Apple, Leftists put linux on potatoes
Wtf why do the republicans get the fried chicken???
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.
Don't think I believe the apple vs windows thing, but the rest looks about right.
What about now?
Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.
