This is why I'm hesitant to believe the tariffs will be the death knell of MAGA.

It might be enough to get the idiots who voted for him because they don't understand how markets work and blamed Biden, but these committed idiots will look the truth in the face and spit in it's eye because it doesn't line up with what they've committed themselves to.

Maybe I'm pessimistic. We've got almost four full years and the one thing this idiot has been committed to where it comes to economics is tariffs, namely on the biggest producer of our shit and that's a long time to be paying a thousand dollars for a cellphone, but I have really lost faith in the ability of human beings to put narrow self interest over blind prejudice.
