Posted in: Kishida marks 78th anniversary of World War II end without mentioning Japan's wartime aggression See in context
For the LDP, the Japanese authorities and (most of) the media, Japan is always the victim. A mind-boggling victim mentality. This victim mentality was pointed out to me by a Japanese colleague 30 years ago.

Whitewashing Japan's wartime aggression has been going on for decades. Every year a little more. In about 20 years' time, the whitewashing will be 100% done.

Change is what all dictators hate. Now, when (not if) the results of this election show that the dinosaurs have lost (like in the last election), it will be most interesting to see how they will "interpret" the results this time and possibly change the rules again after the election. If this doesn't work, they can always find a way again to disband the "nasty" opposition parties. If this happens, then all hell will break loose.
