Our economic resources are being pillaged by the Nazis who Democrats insisted on appeasing, our planet is dying, and literally everyone in the US is at risk of being sent to a foreign death camp at a whim.

Biden put tarriffs on chinese EVs which is why you can't buy a BYD in the us. This is not an example of appeasement, this is what they do regardless.

A report in Australia found that the worst brands for data collection were Tesla (American), Hyundai (Korean), and Kia (Korean).

The best brands were Japanese cars other than Mazda.
