Oh, what a feeling! (And it isn\u2019t a good one.)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Approaching Tuesday\u2019s six-month anniversary of the Jan. 6\u00a0insurrection<\/a>, the liberal watchdog Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington\u00a0tallied\u00a0<\/a>contributions corporate PACs have made to the 147 insurrectionists in Congress \u2014 those who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, even after the Trump mob\u2019s deadly attack on the Capitol.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Most corporations stuck to their initial pledges and didn\u2019t give money, at least directly, to those who stood for overthrowing democracy. But one has bankrolled the insurrectionists at a level far higher than the others: Toyota. The carmaker gave $55,000 to\u00a037<\/a>\u00a0of the insurrectionist lawmakers,\u00a0CREW found<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 more than quadruple the runner-up, CIGNA (nine), and quintuple Koch Industries (seven).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>A Toyota spokesman told me the company \u201csupports candidates based on their position on issues that are important to the auto industry and the company.\u201d Apparently, constitutional democracy isn\u2019t one of those issues. This leaves me with one question: Would anybody like to buy my 2017 Toyota Sienna? I suspect I\u2019m not the only one who won\u2019t be buying a(another) Toyota. Toyota likes to say its cars are \u201cmade in America\u201d \u2014 while its actions are unmaking America.<\/span><\/div>\n

Here is what is on the TOYOTA website:\u00a0 “The stylish 2022 Toyota Corolla takes fun to the next level. With a sleek design and the latest tech, Corolla is ready to create something unforgettable.”<\/span><\/div>\n
“Something unforgettable? ” Like loading up the “sleek design” with weapons and pipe bombs to maim, kill and destroy the monsters that Trump, Fox News, Alex Jones, Republican members of Congress have concocted by taping into your paranoia, fear and hate.<\/span><\/div>\n
Toyota taking it to the next level by helping Republican politicians destroy America so they can win elections, hold power and keep the perks.\u00a0 \u2014 Toyota, made in the USA.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
