Toyota is not a bastion of conservatism. It's just like any other business. And many businesses have been foolishly equating loud liberal noise and flash with substance. Toyota is apparently not so easily fooled. When attacked for donating to politicians who voted against election certification they did not cave.
There are two ways to read this.
1) Toyota is just very conservative and doesn't mind if their sales are negatively impacted by them doing things that the left doesn't like.
2) Toyota sees the conservative counterpunch coming and recognizes that all of the "gaynes" that the left have made are in things that are a flash in the pan without much long term substance. In fact it's completely clear to me that their emotional rants have worked against them.
If I look at Texas I see a state that has begged lawmakers for constitutional carry for 15 years. I see a state where Greg Abbott herded with the RINOs and sheeple in his covid lockdown. But these actions so disgusted his conservative base that they/we could no longer take it and when he went to CPAC he got the bad news that nobody was going to vote for him for president. Zero. Nada y nadie.
Right after that he changed big time. He started manning up. And instead of just coughing up constitutional carry, he decriminalized silencers as well. Talk about with a cherry on top! I do not think he would have done any of these things if the liberals hadn't tricked him into herding with them during the covid lockdowns. But he did and now permitless concealed and open carry is the law of the land.
Thank you, libtards, for wiping your own long term agenda out. Thank you very much!
