I wanted my car made in America. So, I bought a Toyota.

Joking aside, even if someone goes through all the "effort" to buy an "American Made" car, a lot of the components are probably made in China anyway. With the very long tail of logistical chains these days, it's almost impossible to know the providence of all the pieces of anything. And even the suppliers have no clue about all the places their parts are ending up.
