#InsaneSanae

She’s Brendan Carr in a blue dress; Shinzo Abe in flats. An enemy of press freedom.

yep, no honor amongst right-wing demon freaks.

As the ratings for Prime Minister Takaichi plummet and she is embroiled in scandal after scandal, I’ll repost:

She’s just a female fascist in a blue dress channeling the same xenophobia, right wing polices and voodoo economics of her mentor, Shinzo Abe

Japan’s new PM is a woman—and a Hitler admirer. She threatened TV networks that criticized PM Abe, opposes gender equality, and blamed foreigners for Covid. Hand-picked in a backroom deal by ex-PM Taro Aso, she’s basically Aso in a dress—an authoritarian xenophobe, not progress. bit.ly/4pW9GvP

Japan’s next PM, Sanae Takaichi, wasn’t chosen by us but by 370 LDP insiders & dues-paying loyalists—mostly old, rural, ultraconservative men. The LDP is neither liberal nor democratic, just a business. She’s a xenophobic sociopath who opposes gender equality

Ms.Takaichi, Japan’s new Prime Minister was chosen in a backdoor deal by former PM Taro Aso
She’s a fan of Hitler’s politics
Her boss Aso
“We should learn from the Nazis who stealthily swapped out Germany’s Weimar constitution for their own without anyone noticing.”

She has a vision for Japan. About 1940. Japan had brutally colonized China and Korea and would make an alliance with Nazi Germany. The government had absolute power and protesters vanished in the middle of the night and were never seen again
The Emperor was a God.

Un poco confortante profilo di
Takaichi Sanae
una fedelissima del defunto Abe Shinzo
e a sua volta grande fan di Margaret Thatcher

(cosa potrebbe mai andare male?
Margaret Thatcher ha distrutto il Regno Unito e Abe è stato ucciso)

「私たちが今見ているのは権力の台頭ではなく、最後の幕だ。高市氏は安倍政権の壊れた仕組みを引き継ぐ。ひるむように訓練されたメディア、粉飾決算を行う官僚機構、そして抗議する気力を失った国民。彼女のナショナリズムはリーダーシップというより、死霊術に近い。古い亡霊を蘇らせ、生者を恐怖に陥れるのだ。」

Japan’s Buddhist party has cut ties to the ruling LDP. The choice of Sanae Takaichi as PM isn’t progress—it’s regression in a skirt. Corrupt, authoritarian, openly hostile to press and minorities, she embodies everything rotten in the LDP: nepotism, nationalism, decay.

yeah that's cute and all but trump is one of her heroes.

She even echoed his "they're eating the cats and dogs" with "the foreigners are punching the nara shrine deer" (turns out nobody was punching the deer, of course.)
March 19, 2026 at 5:34 PM
It’s a clueless article by a Japan apologist. Many in Japan who actually know what she stands for recognize her selection as a step backwards. She’s Taro Aso in a dress.

This headline is aging badly.
I don’t think we will see a Sanae Takaichi PM after the ruling party was left at the altar by KOMEITO.

But only KOMEITO knows the future 🔮

Seems increasingly unlikely that she will become the Prime Minister and there are some very good reasons for that.

「奈良の鹿は元気かもしれないが、日本の民主主義は衰えており、棒を握っている人物は昇進したばかりだ。安倍首相が遅まきながら悟ったように、過激派と踊るには、彼らのリズムに合わせなければならない。彼を暗殺したのは政敵ではなく、安倍首相が擁護していた信仰に裏切られた信者だった。高市氏はこの点に留意すべきだろう。歴史は忍耐強いが、記録は残る。とはいえ、自分が神々を代弁していると思っている時は、背後の足音に耳を貸さないものだ。」

Which makes the root of nationalist and xenophobic ideology of the upcoming LDP Prime Minister Takaichi's platform essentially bullshit per @tokyovice.bsky.social.

Though her ties to the Unification Church is another level of mess in the strange modern dynamics of Korean-Japanese history.
