Vaguely interested in the topic, this was a nice breakdown. I felt like I had to actively go looking for an article making the case for tariffs, and I thought this article[0] from The Atlantic made sense.

> I had to actively go looking for an article make the case for tariffs

And I wonder who provided such a case?

> Oren Cass is the executive director at American Compass and author of The Once and Future Worker

Oh, I'm sure American Compass is a widely renowned firm known for objective, unbiased analysis!

> We are charting the course for conservative economics.

Hm.

Much like how sarcasm in real life usually misses a chance at contributing to the conversation, I feel like you've done the same here. If you have something to say about the quotes or American Compass, then say it, or point to something else that's more credible, otherwise it's just internal dialogue
Not everyone is constantly scouting for political reasons to dismiss ideas.
