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." (ๅ‡บๆ‰€:ใƒฆใƒผใ‚ฌใƒ–ใ€ใ‚ฎใƒฃใƒฉใƒƒใƒ—ใชใฉใฎไธ–่ซ–่ชฟๆŸปใ‹ใ‚‰ไฝœๆˆ)

Yep, that seems to be it. Interesting, if a bit simplified, explanation in the article of US politics for a Japanese audience.

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

Where's the education part?

[โ€“] NoSpiritAnimal@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Are you asking the US or Japan?

[โ€“] III@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

It's right there, on both sides, given placement in the graphic that matches the importance each party places on it.

[โ€“] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Well, I'm glad we cleared that up.

[โ€“] Etterra@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

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

[โ€“] jordanlund@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

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

"Democratic Party" and "Republican Party".

I guess I really am a centrist.

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

[โ€“] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

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

[โ€“] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

The batter got shot in the hip!

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
