@BowsacNoodle it's a bit unusual since takaichi called a snap election and won big which can be seen as a mandate to change the constitution to enlarge the military, also maybe to maintain weak jpy and low bond rates to try and boost exports despite inflation
Takaichi has said some mildly critical things about infinite migration so of course western media calls her japanese trump because they're incapable of treating anything with nuance or portraying it in any way but thru the lens of Donald Trump after a decade of brainrot
