Abe Shinzo (born 安倍 晋三, September 21, 1954 - July 8, 2022) was the Prime Minister of Japan, and was the president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan. The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan differs vastly from the Democratic Party of the United States. In Japan, liberalism adheres to the understanding of liberal and democratic values as outlined in Jeffersonian Democracy, and are thus closer to libertarian values.

Abe was known for his conservative views on a number of issues, and his numerous libertarian actions. Abe also promoted nationalist policies as prime minister,^[1] and supported low immigration levels.^[2] A nationalist, Abe and his cabinet took an unapologetic stance toward their country and its history.^[3] He supported a strong defense policy.^[4]

On November 20, 2019, Abe became Japan's longest-serving prime minister.^[5][6]

Abe was assassinated on July 8, 2022 by Yamagami Tetsuya, a 40-year-old unsatisfied with him; the gunman was arrested at the scene by local police and taken into custody.^[7] Subsequent to Abe's assassination, the Gateway Pundit reported on suspicious activity on Twitter that hinted that China's Communist regime may have been behind the assassination; in fact, the regime in Peking had openly threatened Abe, a staunch anti-Communist and vocal opponent of the regime, with death some time before the assassination occurred, making the threat in response to Abe's excoriation of Peking over Taiwan.^[8] Following reports of Abe's death, leftist social media users in China gleefully celebrated his assassination while calling his assassin a "hero".^[9] President Donald Trump responded to Abe's assassination on his Truth Social account, calling him "...a true friend of mine, and much more importantly, America",^[10] while White House usurper Joe Biden, who did not respond until 12 hours after the shooting while Trump and other world leaders had quickly responded with their own statements, released a rambling word salad statement about Abe's assassination which he used as his excuse to continue imposing gun control in the United States, for which Biden was criticized on social media for politicizing the incident and making it about gun violence and gun control.^[11] Liberal media outlet CBS smeared Abe in its report on his assassination, calling him a "right-wing nationalist" and a "polarizing figure" and calling his statements "controversial".^[12] Particularly, Anti-American, neo-Marxist and "woke" NPR firstly called him a "divisive arch-conservative" (in a decade-long predominantly and openly conservative and nationalist country? And the label "arch-conservative" is even a thing that means something at all?), then almost immediately edited and changed it to "ultra-nationalist" (???) in their disrespectful and defaming article and Twitter and Instagram post.^{[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]}
