They did just vote in their own version of MAGA, talking hard-right winning in a landslide. Kinda tracks with the servility.
Well, I can't really say for the japs, but for "MAGA U.S" people, it seems to boil down to either genuine mental illness, or being exposed to extremely heavy propaganda for very long time, to weave a whole culture around it.
So, I can understand how people can "vote against their interests", in the sense of being nothing but emotional about their decisions.
But on the same token, it is not as direct as voting for a party into power.
When you vote someone into office, you "take the good with the bad", at least, you vision the "good" to equal the bad no matter what, even if factually false.
However, when god itself steps down and offers you great fortune, and you not only turn it down, but explain that you've being a bitch your whole life, so you want to stay a bitch your whole life --- now that's a whole other fruit case.
If the MC was a farmer -- and he'd say: "naw, I want to keep being a farmer, that's what I knew all my life" -- sure. You take the good, with the bad. That's their lifestyle.
But being a corporate slave has no "lifestyle", it's not "good with the bad", just....Bad.
Anyway, this msg went for long enough. Ya get the point.
