Yeah, you've said that. I get it. You're wrong, but that's ok.

Just to be clear, the idea is tariffs will force companies to open facilities in the US, and then? The tariffs cannot go away, they are the only thing that makes that factory make any sense. Everything will be more expensive from now on, this is a very obvious trade-off. For fuck sake, calling someone a "globalist" is a common pejorative within new-right circles (and plenty of people on this board us it as well). You guys are acting like we didn't discuss globalization and whether or not it was good for everyone and job loss/market differentiation is just the natural product of a free market, or whether the US worker got the short end of the stick and paid for the cheap stuff for everyone else. The words coming out of the president's mouth, and the vice president, and the treasury secretary, etc, etc. Basically all the language from the administration (except the guy who's leaving to go back to business) lines up with the "globalization was a bad deal" crowd.

One of the things that may (hopefully) come out of Trump 2.0 is the branches re-asserting their independence. There are parts of the judiciary doing it now, Rand and Kaine are starting to push back against tariffs. Each branch jealousy guarding its power is exactly what the framers wanted.

wrath, and nihilism

I don't disagree. I am sad and frustrated when people who should know better revel in the shit, and abandon their professed values.

Copy. Wrath. Have fun. But don't bitch if your side loses in the end.

Protections against government action are delicate. You destroy them, the next asshole just turns the government gun against their enemies, and on and on. wrath is a motherfucker

No, you're supposed to be cranky that the US gov is shitting on due process.

I don't think the people there are that stupid. They're saying whatever they think is politically expedient. They're trying to reverse globalization.

Awesome

If Trump actually throws down the tariffs he's talking about, the delusion is that Vance would be remotely close to electable. "It the economy, stupid."
