Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

In b4 the supporters start yelling, "Won't be a problem for me! I only drive American cars!"
Narrator: "It did become a problem for them."
Well, Tesla aside, all manufacturers manufacture some percent of their USDM cars outside of the US. For GM it's over half. Even Honda, Toyota and Subaru USDM cars are more likely to be US-made than GM. Stellantis and Ford however are in 2nd and third place in Tesla so not TOO bad. Source
"I only drive Toyota! "BUILT HERE LIVES HERE"!
Not even joking the amount of morons who drive Toyota in Texas and obsess over the fact they are made here in Texas as if that makes them an American car? Still a Japanese company my dudes
Buying a USA domestic brand that was assembled abroad and imported pays USA stock owners, not USA factory workers and local economies.
Who does that?
I guess assembled in Mexico in a couple cases?
All American brands build cars outside of the US. It’s typically the cheaper models that are made elsewhere.
Ford built the Edge in Canada, dodge built the charger and challenger in Canada, Chevy built some Silverado’s there. Chevy and dodge both built some of their trucks in Mexico too. Shit some Chevy models are made in china and shipped back to the US.
There’s an easy way to tell what country a car is made in. If the vin starts with 1 4 5 and sometimes 7 it’s made on the US. If it’s 2 it’s made in Canada. If it’s 3 it’s Mexico. Y is china I believe.
Was just making a point to OP about "American" vs "Japanese" companies, who seems to care more about the headquarters' locations rather than the workers'.
OK, but what car companies do the thing you said that your point was about?

Ford Mustang, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Charger/Challenger.
Toyota and Nissan seem to be more American these days than ford/chevy/dodge. It's quite hilarious
