How the Japanese look at the US — comic in recent Tokyo newspaper.

It's more or less accurate, except at the top where the red team guy is respecting a woman.

Y'all better move fried chicken back over that line right fuckin now.

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.

How did they not put any guns?

Wtf why do the republicans get the fried chicken???

That girl in the red dress needs to be about 15 years younger

Apple? Plz. We buy PCs and load on Linux.

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?)

A Republican man respecting a woman? Unrealistic.

Don't think I believe the apple vs windows thing, but the rest looks about right.

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.

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.

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 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??

At first, I thought the catcher was a guy crouched with a gun and was shooting the batter in the ass.

I hate the Apple association, but everything else feels pretty valid.

Tesla goes on the other side actually tbh tbh

Weird how they pose Pride as opposite Church...

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

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

Where's the education part?

I wish it was this peaceful

Also Pepsi should be coke. and maybe steaks and corn instead of fried chicken.

I guess I really am a centrist.

I'm a bit bummed to discover the text just reads:

"Democratic Party" and "Republican Party".

What happens if I'm an American and not really in either group?

Also, I look forward to this meme format's career with great interest

The batter got shot in the hip!

I'm a little bit country~ a little bit HP?*record scratch*...

I like how direct eye contact is such a huge cultural difference that they put it in twice, at the top

Nailed it.

I'm not sure why would anyone on less extreme right support multibillion corporation like crApple. But it seems to align with what I heard about americans.

Sushi, Starbucks and rap music...

Ain't gonna lie, that does seem like the backpacker life.

Some of you who know, know.

Hit wrong reply button. Deleted and moved.

Hey, chief. Let's talk, why not!

At first, I thought the apartment buildings were stacks of pizza boxes.
