It's hard to parse this without concluding that you are perhaps unaware that Volvo is Chinese.

It's hard to parse this without concluding that you are perhaps unaware that Volvo is Chinese.
- mukbangpervert 3mo agoI should've said competitive Chinese EVs to be precise. (Though I thought that anybody as smart as you think you are would've inferred that without issue)
- dybber 3mo agoThey need to balance between the Silicon Valley oligarchs desires and the MAGA voters possible reactions. Banning Volvo would probably not be well received by MAGA, at least Trump would need a bit more time to build the case that these vehicles are now unreliable.
- natch 3mo agoHaving spent some time in California and seen things town by town at a very granular level, I think woke voters are the ones driving Volvos. So while I didn’t quite follow that reference, it’s true that if Trump were to ban them for simply being owned by China, then he’d be kind of screwed because he’d then have to ban all his own merch like the Trump phone and his made-in-China MAGA hats.
