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.
Where are you getting the notion that moving on from Epstein is the mainstream MAGA opinion? If anything I see the exact opposite. And polls continue to say <10% of Republicans don't want the files released. If anything I'm pleasantly surprised how few people were swayed by Trump trying to sweep it under the rug.
From the ubiquity of comments everywhere MAGA centric that are about exactly that. And from the mass of MAGA "influencers" like Charlie Kuck explicitly dropping the subject. And from congress going to recess early specifically to avoid a vote on it with no public outcry...
Polls are also saying he supposedly has a record high approval rating with Republicans. If you need proof that polls are bullshit, this topic proves it.
What exactly registers as public outcry to you? Normies were never clued into the Epstein thing. So you weren't exactly going to see people in the streets over it. But most people who were harping on it before haven't just dropped it, and saying they have just because they haven't mentioned it every day is a bit much.
In the end most people who wanted the files released and still do are doing the exact same thing you are doing: bitching about it on the internet.
Polls can be a great tool if you know how to use them. If the way a question is asked or presented is skewed or the pollster is shit, the output will be shit. On the other hand there are pollsters who have historically higher accuracy. "Polls are bullshit" as a general statement is an intellectually lazy position. There are shit polls and there are absolutely polls that only exist to serve as propaganda. But not all polls are like that.
Epstein is a distraction from Trumps plan to amnesty farmand hotel illegal aliens. Prevent amnesty should be the focus. Epstein can wait untul the illegal scum are gonr
