What are the political ramifications if Americans cannot buy the new car (unavailable) or used car (way too expensive) they want or need?
None. There has never been a revolution started because the people cannot buy cars.

I sometimes forget that Ax has never waited in line for an hour to buy five gallons of gas. Not for an entire summer.
Ask Mr. Carter about those car-connected political ramifications.

Seeing that you are already moving the goal post from “buying cars” to the much more vague “car-connected” terminology so early in a thread tells me that you already know there isn’t much political ramifications about “buying cars.”

Housing sales are already dropping. Don’t put too much stock in disruptions, they are rarely long term. Most news is just in service of continuing our cultural wars.

Much of the new car shortage is chip related. When you consider what those chips do, like rear cameras and lane control if a revolution is caused by not having those features then we deserve to all die.
