Japanese media already picked up on his flip flopping behaviour (like how he said there was preferntial treatment for foreigners before the election but after the election he says there isn't. Like how he said DURING CAMPAIGN TRIAL that "Japanese first was just an election slogan and he wouldn't discriminate against foreigners and he wouldn't listen to those who do " )

A lot of Japanese comments in this article are calling Kamiya untrustworthy because of he keeps flip flopping on his positions.
. Yet according to some of the Japanese comments in this article, Kamiya has a cult following who are complete fanatical supporters. Similar to Trump. Because Kamiya is a really good public speaker that can rail up the crowd.
And he said some extreme right wing things that no one else has said but everyone is thinking... (though he goes 180 degrees on it and flip flops and admitted he just says these things to get attention). . He got attacked by the media a lot for the "extreme right wing comments" so to his supporters they think "that must mean that he's legitimate and real". Similar to Trump.
And similar to Trump , Kamiya doesn't keep his promises. Like how Trump said he'd release the Epstein files but he still hasn't and is now attacking his own followers for wanting him to keep his campaign promise.
. Like how Trump said he wouldn't start any new wars but bombed Iran. Like how Trump said he'd lock Hillary up but didn't. And then later on said "he never said to lock her up " even though he did.
I hope it wont be another Trump situation where Kamiya's cult following just turns a blind eye to all the lies and broken promises. Where people ignore that they are following a con man.
Some Western media has called Kamiya antisemitic because he once said that jews are profitting off covid and that he wont sell out Japan to jewish money. And yet he's also a part of the Jewish Yamato friendship organization and he visited israel's wall.
Seriously this guy is such a scam it pisses me off. He started his party off by focussing on being opposed to the covid vaccines. its only a matter of time before he starts saying "actually the vaccines were good"
As one of the Japanese comments said in the article "There are shady politicians like this all over the place, but it's rare to see someone who turns their back so blatantly." Actually Kamiya's flip flopping is even more blatant than Trump's, i hope Kamiya flip flops more so that it becomes too obvious so that not even his supporters can deny that he's a scammer and liar. if he's going to lie so much i hope he makes himself as obvious as possible.
As it stands i see one of his supporters trying to defend his back tracking saying "there's a difference between "privilege and preferential treatment" (apparently Kamiya said foreigners get preferential treatment while also saying they dont get special priviliges"?. ) As if there's much difference between the two. And then he says he's still better than LDP. ok so its pure cope at this point.
Because they get attacked so much by the media it causes people to blindly defend people like Trump and Kamiya .
I wonder if this was done on purpose....Find a controlled opposition candidate they want the right wing to support and just keep attacking him which would make him more popular with the right wing and make them turn a blind eye to the obvious con man behaviour they might show. . As they say there's no such thing as bad publicity. While the actual opposition are completely ignored so no one knows about it.
There's a reason why the media never talks or complains about Gab despite it being the most far right site with lots of "hate speech" in it
