They STILL don't get it? Everyone has been yelling about exactly what would happen. The news, social media, people protesting in the streets... even Fox News is critical of the Tariffs now. Journalists are bringing it up at White House press conferences and getting reaponses from the Press Secretary. This is not a secret. What sort of social bubble/echo chamber, do these people live in? Just fully bought in to the kool-aid. Useful idiots, the lot of them!

People are incredibly stupid.

I think this is the right answer. I really don't want to believe this is true, but I think it is.

I really don't want it to be the answer either... But as I get older it's the only thing that makes sense. And honestly I don't think it's limited to party lines (which has me rethinking some of my beliefs - what's the point of supporting the party that aims for a social safety net if they're too feckless to ever make it happen).

People are incredibly stupid and technology / politics isolates that stupidity and builds upon it to make mindless propaganda drones.
