The lights burn blue. It is now dead midnight.
Cold fearful drops stand on my trembling flesh.
What do I fear? myself? there's none else by:
Richard loves Richard; that is, I am I.

Thanks for all the replies!!
It’s just a slangish phrase to say goodbye to somebody leaving in some bittersweet tone, and Abe’s not promoting any particular sex position. All right.
Great thanks to you all for sharing information!
Why Japan?
→ ’cuz it’s the most famous for its declining birth rate.
Why Abe? (rather than any other Japanese PMs that’ve also dealt with birth rate issues.)
→ ’cuz he’s also known for his anime-promoting policies.
One more question: what’s ‘See you, space cowboy’?
They often say the phrase when they refer to the meme.
I’ve learnt that it came from ‘Cowboy Bebop’, but does that anime or the phrase have sth to do with Abe or the idea of promoting sex? (like, associated to cowboy position?)
I honestly wonder how come they’ve chosen Abe for the qrazy sex-promoter in the meme, rather than other leaders of nations. If you’re an X-user in Anglosphere and know why plz lemme know that.
