This is a good point, that the recent libertarian candidate references:They use good,solid,logical arguments - but in RL in politics win emotions.So, they must change their style.

In Asia libertarian ideology always struggles because it's up against thousands of years of cultural and social inertia. Sure, academics, religious figures, even fresh-in/out-of-university students preach liberal values (sometimes violently), and politicians juice up their campaigns and speeches with it, but libertarian ideology has to make room for the previously-mentioned weight of history, and not the other way around.
Long story short, Asian values. That's not to say they're incompatible, as Japan's postwar economic miracle, China's rise to become the world's second largest economy and nascent superpower, plus the tiger economies of South Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore prove that free market economies and their values of competition, innovation, creativity, etc. are something the socially-conservative bent of Asian societies can assimilate. But the libertarian focus on the individual, placing him or her above the community they're part of, is just something that is fundamentally alien to the Asian psyche.
No matter how much noise is made from inside or outside, Asians tend (and likely will continue for the foreseeable future) to favor social stability and collective prosperity if at the expense of diminishing the value of the individual, as well as maintaining a deep-rooted respect for seniority and figures of legitimate authority.
Just my two cents on the OP's question, don't mean to offend anyone.
Japan may end up having to go through a cultural refomation/revolution in the next 10-15 if it's population keeps dwindling at the rate it is. my bet however is that it'll likely adapt 80s american conservatism before it adapts modern American progressivism
TBF, much of those accusations towards the Left probably are true
That DeBlasio guy wouldn’t let the Jewish Community do their religious thing because social distancing whilst having big favor for the Muslims around instead
They also don’t like East Asians, or BLM and the “black Community” very much dislikes them
Why though? I assumed given China is Communist, the left would love those guys. And why doesn't BLM and the "black Community" not like them?
"Rooftop Koreans" is a meme for a reason.
I recall one riot sometime in the 90s, began because an East Asian shopkeeper shot a black girl who was trying to steal from his shop. The "black community" tried rampaging in the neighbourhoods and businesses of East Asians and other areas, but they legally and illegally kept and used guns to prevent further destruction
Philly's proposed bulletproof glass ban could get someone shot | Editorial
With adequate laws in place, it's pretty clear that forcing merchants in tough neighborhoods to take down their bulletproof windows is a way to scare them out of business.www.inquirer.com
It maybe because, these "minorities" do way better than them.
Also, their "prices are too much" for the comparatively way poorer "black community"
Good for them. There's proof the Second Amendment isn't just for hard-right nutjobs, but is good for the common Joe or Jane when the going gets tough. Rioters are out of control? The police do nothing because their bosses in city hall are too busy twiddling their thumbs? Get the f*ck off my property or get a face full of lead, your choice.
WTF? Isn't that the same reasoning used to justify anti-Semitism?
Seriously, what the hell? People have to eat too, you know? And importing genuine East Asian stuff can get expensive? Hell, I live in Asia and importing stuff from South Korea and Japan is already expensive. Seriously?

The high-ups in the Democrat party do generally love China. They can't say much about it, but how soft they've been on them (and some of the shit the Clinton administration was implicated with letting them get access to), you can see the hard left's usual idolization and enamorment with dictators in effect.
