Do we really want America to become a backwater of bloated, expensive, gas-guzzling cars?

Is it not already lol

They mention it in the article, but the big American auto companies are profitable exclusively because of truck and SUV sales. The question is mainly whether they are able to pivot away from that and how much Biden is willing to protect them from Chinese cars while they try.

If Biden protects them, they won't need to pivot. They can just coast on market manipulation.

They're ass because they don't need to try.
