Ya know, the intention is awesome but I would argue it would be best to just tarrif all US. This should push democrats to also fight for democracy.
Oh, it’s going to be very universal pain. Most of the blue states are the trade hubs on the coasts, or the ones with the best research and medical programs, which have been crippled by massive cuts. Or all of the federal positions in those states fired or reduced. On top of all that, tourism is way down, or is projected to fall.
Before Trump, 90% of our state’s wheat was consumed internationally (or nationally), and our exports, still below the covid waterline, were ~60 billion USD a year. That’s rapidly changing, which will blow a huge hole in the state’s budget. All because most people were too stupid to vote in battleground states where their votes were absolutely critical.
Our state has been progressive for many decades, if not longer, yet we will be just as punished as the screwups and betrayers. :)
I’m in a blue state and I agree with this.
We need the pain to be universal.
Thank you for understanding. I love american people, cant wait for this bad dream to end
We’ve been sitting in this pot of water with the fire on for a long long time. The faster it boils, the better.
