It’s easy to say “fuck america! Let’s bring in those chinese EVs!” And while we certainly put those tariffs in place in large part because of the States doing so, it’s also important to remember that China really, really doesn’t play fair on the global stage. It’s easy to point to subsidies as the culprit, but as usual with Chinese manufacturing, that only tells part of the story. It’s very likely that many parts of those vehicles are sold to these companies by CCP owned or partly-owned businesses, from the steel to the leather to the plastics, these cars are cheap for a reason.

When you buy a Chinese EV, the vast majority of that money goes to China. And if you’re really a “rah rah Canada” kind of person, that’s why those tariffs exist, because if they do flood the market with cheap vehicles, it’s important that we’re not wholly enriching a foreign nation (especially one that has shown it is happy to clandestinely meddle in Canadian affairs) at the expense of our own.

Putin.

Everything Trump has done helps Putin.

He’s started a trade war that will destabilize the west. He’s pulled funding from Ukraine. He’s blatantly lied about who started the war. He’s stopped cyber efforts against Russia. He’s openly talked about lifting sanctions. He’s trying to get the Nord Stream back on the table.

You take all these facts together, it is plainly obvious that Trump is a traitor to the United States. He’s openly aiding a dictator by destabilizing western civilization. If you put these facts on the table in front of anyone and they deny he is a traitor, they are probably a traitor too.

I can think of one guy who definitely benefits

You’re literally voting for the scum that are rolling back their rights, you dense pancake.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of internet users. And Google is banking on people not caring enough so they can push their vision of the internet, an ad-ridden, data stealing nightmare.
