I’ve already heard the rationalization: It was the ineptitude of previous administrations that allowed trade with China to get so out of hand, forcing HitlerPig to make the hard decisions that will hurt now, but America will be better off for it in a few years, when full manufacturing has returned to America. Of course, that will mean a crippling Economic Depression until that happens.
People believing that think that the new manufacturing landscape is going to return wonderful, high paying jobs to workers who could barely achieve a high school diploma. They couldn’t be more wrong.
If Sociopathic Oligarchs and Corporations have the chance to rebuild the manufacturing sector, why would they emulate the model that got manufacturing sent to China in the first place? The new factories will be mostly automated, and jobs that rely on humans will be more like Asian sweatshops - non-union, no mnimum wage, no benefits, no health/ safety/ environmental regulations, forced overtime with no overtime pay, teen labor, etc.
In the meantime, they are allowing workers’ imaginations to run wild with fantasies of easy $50 an hour manufacturing jobs, without correcting them about their real intentions.
Which is frustrating because the Democrats were actually using the right mean to walk back on some of the globalism issues by pushing the government to buy local.
I think some humans are so ignorant that they don’t know we are collapsing.
Edit: missed a word think
And they won’t know it until they personally suffer (worse than just inflation) tangibly. Probably will somehow be Democrats fault even then
Ye, 'em dems ruining our economy forcing trump to use tariffs.
/s
Gos what’s fucked up is that they almost certainly will use a version of that

By latest polls, that would be about half of Republicans, about 10% of Dems, about 20% of independents.
So uh… yeah thats roughly 60 million people.
AmURHiCah!
