Japanese Trump supporters

I’m guessing these folk would have just LOVED the Axis governments in WW2. Is it possible that we humans are genetically wired to love either democracy or dictatorships? How else can one ignore or justify the evil Trump has done? Even people inside the echo chamber made up of FOX, X, Breitbart, Newsmax and whatever Japanese right wing platforms there might be, still can’t avoid the fact that he is a convicted felon who lies as he breathes, counts racists and murderous dictators amongst his friends and led an insurrection back in 2020.

Katie Mimura, left, and Hisako Kaneko, right, who traveled from Japan to show support for Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump, walk outside before a rally at Ed Fry Arena in Indiana, Pa, on Monday.

I would reckon they are members of some prosperity gospel evangelical mega church which is a big Trump base.

Like this guy that begs the congregation for dollars for a new private jet.

I have now seen everything.

My questions above are, of course, rhetorical. Your parents’ political position, or a lust for personal power and, for many Americans, desperation, are enough to hook up your wagon to the Trump train, just like Germans back in the 1930s. I guess sheer stupidity must also be taken into account.

Good on 'em. If only they were eligible to vote.

It seems to me that a certain party followers want to force their ideologies into everybody. And those who follow a certain candidate and in the wrong. How much evil can it get?

Makes me wonder if at some point they look around at the congregation and think, "Ha, those ones look kind of ridiculous. Wait.... Do we all look ridiculous?"

Direct them to the nearest mental facility.

freedom of speech.

That's a whole lot of walking stupid right there...

Don't be surprised if they show up at a Red State voting booth in Nov - and get invited in...

That right there is the actual Trump Derangement Syndrome.

What’s gone wrong?

freedom of speech.

As is our mockery of those idiots.

I bet they vote for LDP too...

Change 'Chosen by God' to 'Chosen by the Kami' and see how the locals react.

Koolaid with supper.

My type of people !!

Also why does the tolerant left compare anyone who disagrees with them to nazis?

The ideal of an interdependent, ordered society with an authoritative government is making a comeback. To some here they may appear to be vulgarity but the plank in their eyes prevents them from seeing their smug philistinism.

Prime example of how gullible and easy to manipulate people can be, they keep falling for the same trick!!

Democrats are 100% sure they can make entire masses believe, once again, that Trump will "destroy democracy" or go full dictator if elected. They know you!

Reminds me a bit of the people I used to see in Shinjuku station with their "Covid is a hoax" signs, yapping away to anyone who would listen. They were of course free to do so, just as everyone else was free to assume that they were stupid and even slightly pitiful.

People can like whoever they wish. Nothing wrong with that.

Crazy right? I don't take sides but I kind of feel sad when I see those people saying they believe that climate change is a hoax, electric cars are bad, that more guns is a good idea or that Kamala will do all the wonderful things she could have done in the last 3&1/2 years.

Precisely what I wrote. "They were of course free to do so".

However, if you make statements that are demonstrably false ("Covid is a hoax", "Trump never suggested putting UV light up your backside / that Haitian people were eating dogs and cats / that the revolutionary war involved airports / (and so on)", then you should expect to be laughed at and pitied.

While it's a foreign concept to some people (republicans, especially MAGA, and most of social media), the concept of intellectual honesty still holds sway among some people, and they don't take well to gaslighting, lying, etc.

That's the irony of it all. Here it's not really hypocrisy as in the pot calling the kettle black but more both the accuser and the accused are both gullible and perhaps even more so.

Skunk saying the sweet pea smells sour.

Trust me we don’t care, that laughter goes both ways.

Again, people can decide what they want and how they will process it.

Kamala will do all the wonderful things she could have done in the last 3&1/2 years.

As a Border Boss, she had a well thought out plan for the border but was just saving it for when she becomes President. People are going to vote Last Four Years vs Trump/Vance.

My type of people !!

Not anyone but Repubs ignore the fact that some of their own like to refer to themselves as a nazi or say stuff like "Hitler wasn't that bad" just them and the racist ones

Trust me we don’t care, that laughter goes both ways.

Thus demonstrating your absolute indifference to what is factually true and what is not. No wonder you like Trump so much.

Perhaps they were farmers or small manufacturers who had their businesses/farms go under due to the TPP

How else can one ignore or justify the evil Trump has done?

This sounds like the vaginal yeast infection pointing to the athlete’s foot infection. How can one justify the wars and killings under the false pretense of democracy?

Countries without billions in dollar assets will never be in a conflict or war with the U.S. The best defense is non-dollar assets.

WW2. Is it possible that we humans are genetically wired to love either democracy or dictatorships?

No because you have a capitalist feudalistic society in America. The Japanese also do not mind being in the middle class. They have humbly accepted their fate but that doesn’t mean they can’t shape their destiny living in a country with social mobility. They are not the petty bourgeois in the West.

Your aristocracy is the oligarchs, and the clergy the combination of think tanks and universities with endowments funded by the industries of these garchs.

Little mobility with nobility.

the concept of intellectual honesty still holds sway among some people, and they don't take well to gaslighting, lying, etc.

Therefore, you should not take well to the Democratic party either.

One you have a Godfather behind closed door meetings never letting the people know what they're thinking but still blatantly obvious like a pairs of shoes revealing a body hidden behind curtains. The other you have the Godfather up front never hating his enemy in order not to affect his judgement.

I'll happily take no clapping penguins and a country wealthier than Libya.

Which god is this guy referring to, after all, there are over 3,000 of them.

The Japanese do not want war. As president, Trump did not start any new wars. But all hell broke loose under the current admin, so I'm not surprised some want a return to peace.

Actually, Trump is the one who negotiated the withdrawal from Afghanistan that went so disastrously. He pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, which could easily have led to war. And his buddy-buddy treatment of Putin definitely gave Mr Vlad the idea the West wouldn't protest if he went to war in Ukraine, even if the war didn't happen under Trump.

"Ha, those ones look kind of ridiculous. Wait.... Do we all look ridiculous?"

Looking at the people in the background, it seems they may think the obasans are taking to urine, hope they are.

If Trump is elected, it will be good to revisit the arguments from low information voters about how Trump brings about peace. My guess is Putin and China might even wait four years to not give their puppet a bad record.

They spent flight, hotel, and rally ticket to see Trump.

Yes, Trump negotiated for a peaceful and organized withdrawal from Afghanistan (a good thing), which the Biden-Harris admin then messed up in a disastrous way (a bad thing).

Good for them. Just like me, they are afraid of war. Japanese know how terrible war can get so they want an American president who wants to end wars instead of one controlled by an agenda that wants war.

Well, now we get to see that unique sight - far-right American pickup trucks and far-right Japanese black sound trucks, both with the Rising Sun Flags and Trump 2024 banners....and blaring martial music....

Just call it the Parade of Fools...

The US is a mess.

It seems that the Japanese instinctively know that Trump , for all his faults , gets things done.

Biden is a no-show and absent most of the time.Kamala is a nebulous airy vague individual.

Wars springing up all over and getting worse under the deficient Dems.

Trump should at least invite them to Mar-a-Lago for dinner and overnight stay.

This propaganda photo could be enhanced by adding a caricature of Harris with horns, tail, and hooves.

I truly hope that Katie Mimura, left, and Hisako Kaneko, right were able to take time away from politics to experience many of America wonderful cities landmarks, museum's and attractions.

Ignorant know no borders

These people have nothing better to do with their lives than to support a wannabe dictator in another country....pathetic and ignorant..

Clearly these people can’t understand a word of English.

The Japanese respect strength. Biden's UN speech didn't get much news coverage, and it's not hard to see why -- it was pathetic. But Trump's threat to "totally destroy North Korea" genuinely scared Kim Jong Un.

The former Insurrectionist-in-Chief has brainwashed the feeble minded people as well … exporting hatred is working for Sir Liealot.

was this the rambling speech where he said, “i gave you the biggest tax hike in u.s. history…” and someone had to stop him to have him wipe the drool off his face?

people are leaving in droves during his comedy monologues.

he said he’s going to wave a magic wand and there will be so many high paying jobs that people will have a hard time choosing one.

and then when on to talk about how beautiful his hair is and no more cars will be made in america if harris wins.

the only thing missing was the promise of everyone getting his new crypto fraud coin that he can’t explain how it works.

chosen by god, who apparently has a wicked sense of humor.

Trump's Japanese basement dwellers.

So who's leading the polls these days?

So who's leading the polls these days?

Harris is still up.

So who's leading the polls these days?

In the national poll, Harris. But the election is not a national poll so that is almost pointless. The polls in the swing states that matter are too close to call. Slightly Harris but well within the margin of error. There is also the possible effect of Trump voters not being up front with their choice to the poll collectors. It's close.

polls shouldn’t interest voters, unless their voting decision is based on whomever is leading. polls interest campaigns to figure out where to go.

polls interest media because they’re something to write or talk about to sell advertising.

polls are like political astrology.

Polls are meaningless, fake. In the 2016 election, wasn't Hillary way ahead, by a lot?

"So who's leading the polls these days?"

Trump is leading in the electoral count. They are basically tied otherwise, with Trump currently having a slight lead in most of the swing States.

So, overall, slight advantage to Trump but the popular vote could easily go either way.

Also why does the tolerant left compare anyone who disagrees with them to nazis?

They don't. They compare autocrats to Nazis ... we and people in the Nazi party, of course.

Nobody said John McCain was a Nazi or Bob Dole.

There's no doubt that Trump is an autocrat based on his own words.

Tolerance by the Left is a figment of their imagination.

Good to see Japanese people who don't lap up all the blatant globalist propaganda put out by their media, which is simply a subsidiary of CNN and the New York Times.

Well, that's disappointing... Although, you'd be hard-pressed to find a nation that doesn't have a smattering of fools here and there. Luckily for Japan, they have far fewer than the US.

Any excuse to sightsee in Indiana, Pennsylvania ... It took me a minute to realize that they weren't hiking the byways of Japan looking like that.

Why on earth would anyone travel nigh half way round the planet, evidently at their own expense, to announce the current male contender for the White House and US top job as being 'chosen by God?'

wicks pencil...

Polls are meaningless, fake. In the 2016 election, wasn't Hillary way ahead, by a lot?

Yes she was in the national poll. But the election is not a national poll. Which is why national polls in an electoral college election is misinformation.

Let's hope more Japanese people get red pilled, but by the looks of it, the general public here doesn't seem to know how to criticize the legacy media and their liberal propaganda.

MAGA!
