Honda’s latest earnings report is a brutal wake-up call for the electric vehicle fantasy: profits plunged 42% from April to December 2025, hammered by U.S. tariffs and massive write-downs on EV assets. We’re talking billions in red ink as the Japanese giant stares down the barrel of a misfired bet on battery-powered dreams. This isn’t just a corporate hiccup—it’s the predictable fallout from governments worldwide shoving unripe tech down consumers’ throats, forcing companies like Honda to torch shareholder value on charging infrastructure and EV production lines that few want. Remember how Honda scrapped its U.S. EV targets last year? Yeah, that was the first crack in the dam, now bursting wide open.
Dig deeper, and this fiasco exposes the hypocrisy in the anti-freedom playbook. The same progressive overlords pushing green mandates—subsidized by your tax dollars—are the ones slapping tariffs that kneecap global supply chains, all while demonizing reliable gas-guzzlers that power real American independence. For the 2A community, it’s a stark parallel: just as bloated bureaucracies try to regulate away our firearms with assault weapon bans and backdoor registrations, they’re strangling combustion engines under the guise of climate salvation. EVs demand centralized charging networks ripe for surveillance and control—imagine Big Brother tracking your every mile like they dream of tracking your every round. Honda’s profit nosedive proves market reality trumps edict every time; consumers vote with their wallets for freedom on wheels, much like we defend our God-given right to bear arms against overreach.
The implications? A boon for 2A patriots who value self-reliance. As EV hype deflates, expect a renaissance in affordable, durable internal combustion vehicles—trucks and SUVs that haul gear to the range without plugging into the grid. Honda’s pain is Detroit’s gain, reinforcing why we fight for deregulation across the board. Tariffs might sting, but they pale against the innovation-killing mandates that EVs embody. Stay vigilant, stock up on ammo, and keep that V8 roaring—liberty rolls on four wheels, not four electrons.
