  • Great news for people who had to bend over backwards pretending this disruptive, nakedly corrupt behavior was "good, actually."

    But unfortunately, there are other channels for them to effectively do the same thing, as discussed in oral arguments. So still not a major win for American manufacturers or consumers, I fear.

  • Can you clarify what you mean by "not very durable?"

  • Agree. It is harder to manufacture in America when the party leader breaks critical parts of your supply chain with rapid and unpredictable tariff changes. It is impossible to lower consumer prices on a good by raising taxes on it.

    This is not even mentioning the astounding corruption of a president and his family personally and directly benefiting from these tariffs threats.

    Does the party not understand the realities of this? Do they understand and are just lying about it because they're afraid of the leader? Afraid of admitting that they're wrong? I believe people are usually rational but I do not understand a rationalization where choosing to harm American manufacturers and consumers on the whims of a visibly corrupt leader is good, actually.

  • Does fishing without a license warrant the same large-scale violent carceral approach that DHS is taking? That would be an insane, disruptive overreaction for something that poses no public safety danger.

  • > It was accomplished by simply choosing to enforce the law.

    They accomplished it by terrorizing people based on the color of their skin. There's nothing "simple" about creating a gigantic secret police force. There's nothing "lawful" about blatantly ignoring court orders.

    You already conceded that there is no public danger. Your argument boils down yet again Great Replacement nonsense about immigrants being bad for America.
