Oh man, they got me dead to rights. I’m not the biggest fan of basketball or cnn but everything else. The only match on the other side is I do like going to a couple major league games every summer

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. 😂
My tankie ass on in that Thinkpad with Linux shit. The Japanese news reading public can not possibly comprehend this
I prefer a custom built PC. What does that make me on the US political spectrum?
To put it in terms suited to a graphic printed in a Japanese newspaper:
I accept this wholeheartedly.
Leftist probably
Largely fits stereotypes from about 15 years ago. Not the most ignorant I've seen.
Not a single gun. No oil. No megacorporations. The fundamental issues of the core divide aren't even hinted at here.
Being on the side of the HP laptop should be enough of a wakeup call.
FINALLY! Someone mentions the grossly unacknowledged Starbucks-Pepsi political divide!
Naww... the rednecks down here love their Coke. I call bs
Double bs. The divide is between starbucks and gas station 64oz tumblers of coffee.
Racetrack ftw!
Yeah you can just slide CNN over in that other column now.
And take the NYT there too
And every other media outlet
And Apple
And the Tesla
Yep move all the mainstream media out of that left column.
Fried chicken got a chuckle out of me. I refuse to let the right take away my crispy chicken identity!!
The consumption of tasty dinosaur descendants transcends politics.
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?
They forgot the fascism and guns on the red side. Maybe they are all inside the church.
As Jesus intended

AI?

It's always the buildings that are the dead giveaway. Wtf is going on with that apartment?
This doesn't look like AI to me. The Buildings are probably like this due to sloppy drawing copy-pasted twice

Man, they really did home in like a laser on the two worst pc brands in the world. I'm genuinely impressed...
I guess it would be kinda inappropriate to pictographically depict a pedo. Probably not enough room under the church anyway.
They seem to understand republicans far more than democracts, other than what they call the party.
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.
Yeah, no. Republicans and sharing are two words that won't fit into the same sentence

This doesn’t even make sense. What makes Basketball inherently democratic/liberal? What makes Baseball republican/conservative?
Apple is aligned with Trump thanks to Tim Cook, NYT writes with a conservative slant, HP is shit-tier hardware, but WhyTF is it red? Why list it at all?
This feels like something thrown together by someone who spent and entire weekend learning about US political culture from memes, and I’m 50% certain this was drawn by AI.
It is 100% AI, so I wouldn't think too deep on any of the choices depicted. Look at the apartment building.
HP is BUSINESS, while Apple is CREATIVE. The greatest of political divides. /s
This picture is at least 15 years old, I remember it making the rounds during uhh, I want to say Obama's first term.

I'm confused about baseball, basketball, and computers. Also not sure about coffee vs soda.
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

From some random dude on the Internet, I'm both on some parts of either side of this meme and not even in it in others.
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.

Hahaha I'm curious about the reasoning behind the HP and mac being red/blue
