Weird how they pose Pride as opposite Church…
Well, we all know the gay agenda wants to make church illegal, so…
/s
Ugh, if only.
Not illegal, just a place where they can groom young children for sex.
Oh wait, no, that’s still churches.
I hate the Apple association, but everything else feels pretty valid.
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.
I like how direct eye contact is such a huge cultural difference that they put it in twice, at the top
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
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.” (出所:ユーガブ、ギャラップなどの世論調査から作成)
Yep, that seems to be it. Interesting, if a bit simplified, explanation in the article of US politics for a Japanese audience.
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.
The whole world drinks Coke, only Americans who go to KFC drink Pepsi.
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.
Apple? Nah fuck no lol
I wish it was this peaceful
At first, I thought the catcher was a guy crouched with a gun and was shooting the batter in the ass.
Adorable how little that truck is
That is the largest truck that someone who’s spent their whole life in Japan can conceptualize. Japan is a land of tiny trucks.
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
They kept the buildings and truck in proportion. Everything else, including the tesla were just enlarged to be visible.
Japanese artist: “I drew it as large and obnoxious as possible!”
Westerners: “it’s adorable that you think that”
A dirt road, a cold beer
Blue jeans, a red pickup
Where’s the education part?
Are you asking the US or Japan?
It’s right there, on both sides, given placement in the graphic that matches the importance each party places on it.
Hiphop, sushi, KFC, Apple products, trucks, and starbucks? Pretty sure the line is actually blurred there.
Quit waffling and pick a side you coward
lol.
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.’
