    The fact that political identity apparently determines whether you use a Mac or an HP laptop is the level of specific detail I didn’t know I needed today. 😂

    I guess it would be kinda inappropriate to pictographically depict a pedo. Probably not enough room under the church anyway.

    FINALLY! Someone mentions the grossly unacknowledged Starbucks-Pepsi political divide!

      Yeah, they blew that one. But, I suspect it’s because they associate “fast food” with KFC, over McDonald’s. Although, I think McD’s is nearly as well known, if not as well liked there?

      I think demographic spillover to some extent. Basketball is seen as more of an African american sport (vs hard racism). Rural areas are also more likely have to have a gas station with a 44-64oz/1-2L fountain drink vs urban coffee shops. Macs are viewed as more artistic and high end

      Well Starbucks has been hardcore screwing over their workers so they are on the shit list.

      I don’t know what the people are doing at the top.

        I think the people at the top are supposed to represent the ideal that the side wants. Republican farters want women in dresses and men in suits (likely doing business), where the democrats want, I guess, casual friday? It’s accurate for the red dicks, at least.

      Baseball is kinda a more old school and traditional sport, while basketball is more hip and new.

    For those interested in the etymology of the party names at the top:

    The democrat side uses the characters “the people”, “lord”, and “party”. My interpretation is “the people are in charge party”, which makes sense because democracy is “the rule of the people”.

    The republican side uses the characters “share”, “peace”, and “party”. To me, this one doesn’t have an interpretation that obviously links to republicanism.

      共 - here meaning “together”, “joint” or “common”

      和 - here meaning peace or harmony.

      The connection here is a peace/harmony/order (because peace/harmony stems from order) that comes from “together” or “joint” (rule). Hence, republicanism (as in the ruling system).

      It is the literal translation of the names of the parties.

      Democracy party

      Republicanism party

      Yeah, no. Republicans and sharing are two words that won’t fit into the same sentence

        I think it’s a pretty good translation of the word; “Republicans” ostensibly would support a “republic”, which is governed supposedly for the common good by mechanisms which are not really explained or examined and definitely distinct from just letting people do whatever they agree on like under one of those gross dirty democracies. “Common harmony” captures the same good-vibes/no-plan energy.

        Of course, what they’ve got now aren’t even actual republicans, because, like their favorite model of Rome, republics love to become empires.

    I like that they think the business professionals just spend the day eating KFC in their pickup truck while listening to Morgan Wallen.

    Although the catcher with a handgun is somewhat correct.

      Agreeing/coming to an agreement, versus the “left” side constantly arguing.

      Japan et al is a very societally conservative country and considers the typical right-wing mob/sheep mentality preferable to the left’s constant debates.

        Eh… Kind of? In my experience most people under 40 in Japan are completely apolitical. Like to the point where they wouldn’t really understand the difference between the left and right.

        They have some of the worst voting turnout in the world, and the older class typically makes all the decisions in regards to government.

        They are socially conservative, but mostly because the younger generations are completely disconnected from politics.

          That’s how the west got where it is now. The majority no giving a shit opens the door for the minority/nutters to do what they want.

          Being “apolitical” means you support the current system/party. If you didn’t you’d be political.
