You kind of saw this with Brexit as well; it was marketed by its proponents as somehow helping small businesses, but of course in the end it hurt or killed them; its impacts on the likes of Amazon, while not nothing, were more muted.

(Brexit, mind you, was on most dimensions not as a severe as the Trump tariffs; it's really going to be very ugly a few months down the line if they're maintained.)
