if you lie down with dogs, you wake up with fleas. Donald Trump began using the “snake” parable during his 2016 campaign, later repeating it at rallies, including his 100-day speech in 2017. In his version, a woman rescues and nurtures a frozen snake, only to be fatally bitten. The snake’s reply: “You knew I was a snake when you took me jn.”Trump frames it as a warning about immigration and misplaced trust. Everybody knows he’s really referring to himself. Did she really think the snake wouldn’t bite her? This is the Prime Minister of Japan, Sanae Takaichi, with an adjudicated rapist. No, not Donald Trump, who also decided to endorse her in the elections. The man on the right is Noriyuki Yamaguchi, the man who raped journalist Ito Shiori, according to a civil court ruling. He was also the biographer of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and very close to the powerful. Many people think she’s a great politician and a fascinating figure because she used to play heavy metal drums, she dresses well, and she’s the first female to become Prime Minister of Japan. But they don’t really know much about her or what she stands for. In this election, she was not running for office as much as she was running from the unfolding scandal of her ties to the much-disliked cult, the Unification Church. But none of this really matters now. The elections were all about popularity, and she had a landslide victory. The problem is there’s a discrepancy between her popularity and the popularity of her political party. She had a 70% support rate; her party, 30%. The support rate is so low because the party is plagued by a history of corruption, slush funds, and their longstanding ties to the Unification Church. Her popularity is now at 56%. It will continue to fall. There’s more than can be explained in a single post. Follow the URL at the bottom if you’d like to know more. She’s Trunp in a blue dress with a nice handbag. The two of them are perfect partners. tokyopaladin.substack.com/p/japans-snap-…
