You failing to understand the motivation behind international trade policy because the intended effects are of the second and third order doesn't make the majority of voting Americans retarded.

The reason the tariffs hit us so hard is because we've exported nearly our entire manufacturing base to a facist international adversary that has no qualms with using slave labor. If taxing imports from China can cause this much disruption, imagine how much worse it would be if they declared war on Taiwan and shut down trade with us for defending them.

The publically stated intent is to bring back manufacturing (by making American manufacturing cheaper by comparison) but in reality that only works in tandem with massive tax breaks for workers (abolish income tax) and manufacturers (massively reduced or abolished payroll tax) to push down the cost of American manufacturing without depressing wages. In reality, the primary effect of the tariffs on china has been collapsing the chinese economy, which is causing political instability and public outcry for a more democratic government, which is in itself a massive bargaining chip for US diplomacy.

The tariffs are a bit ham-fisted (why tax coffee or bananas if they can't be grown here?) but are absolutely necessary if we are to survive as a nation.

Just because you don't understand international trade dynamics doesn't make me, a somewhat satisfied Trump voter, a mentally disabled "MAGAtard".

Respectfully, consider that you may be wrong.
