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.

Adorable how little that truck is

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

A Republican man respecting a woman? Unrealistic.

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?)

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.

Politics as consumerism. They got us dead to rights.

Apple? Nah fuck no lol

Americans known in Japan... for nigiri??

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.

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.'

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?

The left side is every NATO leftist, except the rapper is white and the basketball player is replaced with a guy whining about the existence of sports

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

Tesla goes on the other side actually tbh tbh

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

Weird how they pose Pride as opposite Church...

Red will also allow Japan to be rolled over by Russia and/or China.

Hiphop, sushi, KFC, Apple products, trucks, and starbucks? Pretty sure the line is actually blurred there.

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

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

They even got Chuck Norris's political affiliation correct. Not that it's a hard guess.

Where's the education part?

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

A dirt road, a cold beer

I wish it was this peaceful

I guess I really am a centrist.

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

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

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

Nailed it.

The batter got shot in the hip!

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

"Democratic Party" and "Republican Party".

where's the lie

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.

Hit wrong reply button. Deleted and moved.

Sushi, Starbucks and rap music...

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

Some of you who know, know.

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

Bruh, sushi took the hood by storm.

Clearly it’s a picture depicting the marriage photo of Hank and Peggy Hill.

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