It’s more or less accurate, except at the top where the red team guy is respecting a woman.

The woman’s hair should be blonder, and she should be wearing more of a tradwife dress.

Its Japanese though and I think that that IS their traditional housewife outfit.

Same for blonder, I mean they obviously k ow what blonde is but that’s probably plenty blonde to be very blonde to them.

Women being owned, yeah, that tracks. But a woman owning another woman, much less being allowed to own any property. Don’t be silly.

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.

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.

I once saw a Hummer in Japan. I have no idea how that person managed to get by in one. Some of the roads are so old that they’re barely wide enough for a regular vehicle, and rare is the oversized parking spot.

They kept the buildings and truck in proportion. Everything else, including the tesla were just enlarged to be visible.

CNN? The channel that recently spent hours dissecting every stutter and stumble Biden made and just plain refused to talk about the vicious lies and ad hom attacks Trump spent the entire debate spewing, and just didn’t find it worth mentioning how he avoided answering several super important questions? That’s who they think the left gets news from?

Like, at least put the NPR on there lol.

Yeah, it’s hard to explain in the US and Canada, where there are only two major parties, that they don’t represent two ends of a political spectrum. They’re just two dominant parties that have different ideas; on a lot of things, they even agree and don’t hide it.

I wish we, as kids in society, had learned more about specific right-wing and left-wing policies in history and civics so that this distinction could be made more clear. Or at least that we were taught what liberalism is and what neoliberalism is and how they’re different.

But we didn’t and weren’t, so when people think “liberal” they think “left,” and we’re all worse off for it.

Deliberately of course, precisely to maintain ignorance, and keep the Overton window firmly on the right…

Ouch.

I guess both have crazy US-only meanings, because well, “liberal” is the core of the right-wing idea.

All such descriptors are relative; by definition, the Democratic Party is “left.”

The only left US-politician in the last 200 years is Bernie Sanders. The rest of the democrats are just on the “left” side from every GOP statement. Which doesn’t make the democrats left.

Their change has been fairly recent. They have a right winger running the show now and he wants to court more Republicans.

He was even quoted as saying (paraphrasing) “fox news has a good model to emulate, all opinion shows surrounding an actual news show.”

But that is a good model. Separate the opinion shows from the news shows.

That’s not what they mean, they already are separated they just act like they’re news and have the little “opinion” thing on the bottom of the screen for legal purposes.

What CNN seems to be saying is they want more opinion shows than actual news. When your show is classified as opinion you can lie as much as you want as long as it’s not slandering a corporation that will sue you (dominion and fox)
