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.

    I wouldn’t be so sure. It’s a time honored tradition for red states to make it significantly more difficult to vote. Shutting down voting locations in busy (so blue) areas, not accepting mail in votes, etc.

      The red state I live in does not do this. Anecdotal of course

        You don’t think there’s any problem with using only your viewpoint and experience as a guide for judging the entire nation?

          Yep, which is why I pointed out that it’s anecdotal. But I’m also seeing a bunch of comments that are just generalizations with no actual sources. So my anecdote has some value at least.

              To offer an alternative viewpoint to the other SOURCELESS comments. You want to provide sources that back up the comments, that’s fine. Otherwise my anecdotal perspective is equally valuable.
