Also Pepsi should be coke. and maybe steaks and corn instead of fried chicken.
where’s the lie
Y’all better move fried chicken back over that line right fuckin now.
You may have one piece
Embrace your inner fascist and cross the line yourself to get the chicken you deserve
“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
Hey, chief. Let’s talk, why not!
They even got Chuck Norris’s political affiliation correct. Not that it’s a hard guess.
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.
The batter got shot in the hip!
Politics as consumerism. They got us dead to rights.
Red will also allow Japan to be rolled over by Russia and/or China.
Putin sold Russia to China, so it does not matter
Historically, its been the other way around. Funny to think that all those US military bases surrounding Japan are there for the country’s self-defense. I guess that’s why we’ve got those bases in Germany, too.
Yes, which is why it is so important for people to understand: THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN PARTY IS NOT THE SAME AS WHAT IT USED TO BE!!
It really is, though. The country has grown less fascist, but the GOP is still deep in its Reagan phase
I wish it was this peaceful
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.
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.
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
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”
They kept the buildings and truck in proportion. Everything else, including the tesla were just enlarged to be visible.
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
I guess I really am a centrist.
I like how direct eye contact is such a huge cultural difference that they put it in twice, at the top
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.
