        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.

          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.

          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.

      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.

    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?)

        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.

      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”.

    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.’

    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.
