    Time to add Toyota to the list of companies I am now boycotting. Fuck it’s getting to the point where I will need to live in the wilderness and make all my own shit from scratch, and ride a horse and buggy.

        Nissan gave heaps of money to Japan’s facists for their colonies. Look up “comfort women” if you want to know what was done with the money.

    Wow, he’s really not reading the country very well is he? 2020, that was a 50/50 move, piss off half the country, earn the support from half of it. (again just talking on a purely business strategy), unless the millitary is about to buy a shitload of toyota’s, I don’t see how this isn’t a horrific play.

      They’re a Japanese brand known for cheap, reliable, sensible cars, do they expect loyalty from the Make America Great Again crowd?

        I wouldnt be surprised if MAGAts buys more overseas than the average American. Their whole merch is made in Asia.

          Buying overseas isn’t something kind of moral failure lmao bluMAGA. Who else but the skidoo dealership owner who drops 1K to fly to DC on J6 is paying 50K+ for a working class affect?

              1. If the MAGAts do buy foreign, that’s not an effective line of attack, trying to out-nationalist the fascists by attacking them for buying foreign goods is depressingly in-line for libs whose only disagreement with Trump is aesthetic.

              2. If MAGAts aren’t buying the overpriced pick-ups Ford and GM are churning out, who is?

    I’m currently considering new vehicles, and Toyotas have won the debate numerous times over the last 40 years, but they are now out of consideration until this CEO is gone. I don’t support Traitors or Pedophiles, nor those who do.
