Leftist Media Triggered By Toyota Donating to GOP Who Objected to 2020 Election
NewsBusters ^ | 6/29/2021 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 06/29/2021 9:29:16 AM PDT by JV3MRC

The liberal media hate when big corporations step outside of the woke narrative and support congressional GOP members who thought the 2020 elections were shady.

Axios’s hit piece was headlined, “Toyota leads companies in election-objector donations.” The outlet took the time to attack companies for supporting political candidates it didn’t like. Automotive company Toyota reportedly led the pack with $55,000 in donations to 37 "GOP objectors." For context on how minuscule that is, Toyota’s entire estimated net worth is $236 billion, meaning Toyota’s political giving only accounts for a measly 0.00002 percent of its net worth.

Axios reminded readers in its “Why it matters” section how “[f]ollowing Jan. 6, huge segments of corporate America rethought their political-giving programs,” to shame companies that didn’t adhere to the trend. Leftist Raw Story made the Axios report on Toyota’s political giving even more ridiculous: “Toyota draws backlash for supporting GOP insurrectionists: 'So Toyota doesn't believe in democracy. Got it.'”

If only Subaru would donate even more than Toyota did!

They’d be triggered past “11” into total meltdown and sent over the edge like a herd of demon-possessed swine!

Omg, what fun that would be.

I used to work for Toyota when their national HQ was in the Los Angeles area. I have a Sienna and absolutely love it. Terrific car and Toyota is a really great company.

I’ve never been much of a Toyota fan. I will have to give them another look.

Not that it matters much. I’m still waiting for something to actually go broke from getting woke.

Looks to me like someone is trying to rig the Toyota stock prices.

Twitter should face sanctions from the Wall Street regulators over this.

Toyota owns 20% of Subaru [largest shareholder], and the Twittsewer bluechecks are arcing out about that, too.

I've had two Toyotas.

Extremely reliable and solid cars.

I don’t anticipate being in the market for a car anytime soon, but I will give Toyotas a look the next time I am. I’ve done Nissan, Ford, Lincoln, Chevy, GMC, Volkswagen, and Mazda, but never Toyota.

My father is on his third Sienna. He had the previous two for 10 years each. All three have been driven all around the United States.

I have been thinking that the Toyota Rav4 is nice and I might get one for my next car. I have never owned a Toyota but they seem well made and reliable.

We mostly had American made cars until 1999 when I was riding with a tow truck driver who was towing in my Buick Skylark. He said, “Get a Toyota, they’re bullet-proof.”
We did buy a Sienna, then a Prius, and now an FJ Cruiser. Have never had a moments trouble with any of them.

Ah, the old tow truck driver recommendation. Mine was worse, he said my car make was the 3rd of the day for him and he knows the dealer area to drop them off like the back of his hand :(

I’m not a Toyota fan (One of the drivers I hate drives for Joe Gibbs), but Toyotas are great.

We had our Sienna for 14 years and only traded it in on the FJ because we wanted a 4 wheel drive.
A lot of folks on FR poke fun at the Prius, but we had ours for 14 years also
and only gave ours to our son and his wife a year ago, when we downsized to a place with a one-car garage.
Since they have had it, they have driven it three times to Colorado, and once to upper Michigan.
It holds as much as their Xterra and uses a fraction of the gas.
