> My point stands, and that is that things have gotten past a melting point because no one wants to exit their insulated echo chambers including you because your descriptions are not at all why people voted for Trump. The guy publicly stood in front of a bunch of businessmen who were planning on taking more manufacturing overseas and told them if they did so he was going to tax the shit out of their imports. In the late 90's people started ordering drugs from Canada, websites started popping up allowing it. Until it was made illegal to do because these Canadian drugs weren't approved by the FDA (just by the Canadian version of it). Trump got rid of that law. None of the democratic presidents, including Obama, were willing to do it. Everyone always thinks their bubble is the non-bubble. |

His tariffs were a joke, I remember the one's he was threatening to put on wine, cheese and meats from EU and that still wouldn't have been enough to offset the immense national debt because the US simply doesn't have the the QC/QA to compete with some of their goods. And he gave concessions to large corps who subsequently were using illegal labour in the US--this was clear during COVID when all the migrant workers were getting sick and meat packing plants and with seasonal farm hands during harvest as he threatened to stop migration, which still affects people who have been here already to this day in the H1-N process.
But I concede that their were more factors to it than those, no including the grift and Q-Anon BS, but honestly it's not worth the time.
