First I want to add some comments.
For many of the Japanese the authority (or power) is the government of LDP, in the present. And some of them believe it is right to obey power and needs no reason.
And this obedience may be similar to militarism. “Don’t think. Obey command” is the principle in military. I think LDP was not fascism originally. But, Aso resemble Mussolini, they are the cheap agitator.
Second I want to comment about political circumstance. Some of the Japanese couldn’t imagine voting other parties but LDP because LDP was the authority for them, especially in rural area like Tottori prefecture. （You live in Tottori prefecture, aren’t you?). However, these circumstances are changing rapidly, I suspect. People begin to see Aso and LDP critically. LDP’s government is lasting too long (It began before my birth). So the government had corrupted.

I will vote to DPJ at next Lower House election because I believe change of government is needed for democracy. (Although I don’t agree with DPJ’s policies completely). And many persons look same as me.

But Aso has the devil’s own luck.
The contemporary circumstance of economy will put off the election. I’m regretful very much.
