Y’all better move fried chicken back over that line right fuckin now.
Trade for Starbucks
“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.
Context?
You may have one piece
How did they not put any guns?
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?
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.
I’m just going to assume they mean the powdered variety

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

That girl in the red dress needs to be about 15 years younger
No older males on the right? This graphic is “woke”, cancel it, demonize the Japanese, deport them.

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.
Apple? Plz. We buy PCs and load on Linux.
Dem by Apple, Leftists put linux on potatoes
You make it sound like leftists are belarusians.
Nah that’s the communists
See! Red! Wait, that’s communism.
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?)
One of the first words Japanese language learning resources teach you is the word for baseball. It’s 野球 yakyuu (“field ball”) btw
棒球 (bàngqiú) in Chinese. Sort of means “stick/bat ball”, but also maybe “awesome ball”.
Japan has one of the more popular gridiron football scenes outside of the US. They also have one of the biggest wrestling & motorsports scenes. That said, I wouldn’t be calling any sport really political on one side or the other but a general working-class pasttime.
Don’t think I believe the apple vs windows thing, but the rest looks about right.

What about now?
That’s what the company contributions look like, not what the user base is. That’s like saying it’s mostly conservatives who drive Teslas because Tesla contributes to Republicans.
Politics as consumerism. They got us dead to rights.
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 think it’s supposed to be clothing and talking style is more casual on left and more formal on right.
I think it’s more literal and low level than “more or less formal”. It’s more like “democrats use this body language and republicans use that body language”.
hand gestures while discussing
Maybe? ¯\_(ツ)_¯
haha, that’s exactly the guy’s posture. But yes, it’s probably just meant as more casual hand gestures vs formal body language. I was just overthinking it
it is. trust me.
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??
Sushi is quite popular in the US, so probably.
I’d assume American rolls would be instead of the nigiri and plain rolls as depicted
Right side should include rolls that have been fried multiple times and soaked in 4+ different sauces
I call this my twix sushi. It’s a deep fried twix, but we cut it into pieces and give you chopsticks to eat it with.

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.
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.
Reds are always fighting soft drink regulation though
Good.
Been saying forever “keep the government out of my bedroom,” hate that I now have to add “and fridge.”
I just want gay married weed farmers to be able to drink Coke while they defend their farms with ar15s.
