    Japan is extremely conservative, so it’s not likely. They have good PR because they’re known internationally for anime and zany fashion… But the vast majority of Japan is extremely hardline conservative, and it has been getting worse recently too.

    Jingoism has been on the rise in Japan, to the point that they have started discussing whether they should be allowed to have their own army again. That’s notable because in the wake of World War 2, Japan’s constitution was rewritten to explicitly forbid them from having an army. They’re only allowed to maintain a small Self-Defense Force, which isn’t allowed to operate outside of Japan.

      There’s nothing conservative about the USA. The USA is full on fascist, including a clown as a dictator that is controlled by even richer assholes. Japan is conservative in the actual sense of the word. They want to preserve their way of life. This can quickly lead to fascist movements but overall this is not really the case. Maintaining a professional appearance is very important to them and trump is pretty much the polar opposite.
