Japan’s conservatives have change of heart about ‘disastrous’ Trump policies “We always saw the US as a country that could show the rest of the world what it meant to be a democracy, to have the rule of law, to have human rights and to do the ‘right thing’, but that has changed.”

As a Japanese-speaker, I know personally or know of so many westaboos who either openly love or tacitly support Trump and have for the whole past decade unflinchingly. Them becoming disillusioned with him was not on my bingo card, but would be a big canary in my personal East Asia and SEA coal mine about overall American favorability.

Who are Japan’s conservatives? Which section of the gallup poll, can it be linked?

I’m sure scmp is a decent publication on most things, but their Japan stories are too often random ragebait for me to take seriously.
