    What do you mean why? Companies exist to make money not support moral causes or take a stand.

    If Trump’s replaced by leftist or whatever companies will change their tune immediately in the other direction. They don’t care about being hypocritical and they don’t give a shit that you are boycotting because the demented Dorito is a bigger threat to their bottom line at the moment.

      Right but what are they actually getting from outwardly showing their support? Surely staying neutral in the public eye is better for business? They just pissed off half their US customers

        That outward support is what makes Trump goon. It’s also by far the cheapest option.

        As much as you see the whinging in this thread most people will never see this stuff and don’t buy cars that often.
