We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.
Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

the ignorance is by design. our entire society has been programmed for consumption not critical thought - and this has been done from all sides at the behest of the corporate oligarchy.
as angry and disappointed and depressed as I am with the outcome, its a deep structural failure and I have a hard time placing the blame on those that simply decided to check out and not participate in their own civic education. every pressure on the american plebian has been to keep your head down, ignore the growing deficiencies and consume.
