I have seen a lot of know-it-all democrat voters posting in the last few days about how Trump's economic strategy is bound to fail and those who voted for him for economic reasons are fools. Obviously I am extremely sceptical of these people, as economic literacy has never been a strong point of progressives (not to mention how they are all suddenly experts, like how they were for virus propagation, climate change, etc.).
Nonetheless, I myself am no economist. Can somebody with a better understanding explain the strategy to me, and also any potential ways in which it COULD backfire in the way progressives are suggesting?
The biggest problem is that corporations will drag their feet investing in the US. It’s cheaper to use foreign slave labor and then blow money on a DIE department and virtue signaling. Tariffs are not a permanent solution, but the whole “free trade” schtick only works if everyone is on an even playing field. The left has regulated America into absurdity, who has made it insanely expensive to invest in American jobs, this was by design. That’s why, magically, our largest manufacturing in the US is… military contracts, somehow we can make nuclear carriers here but an iPhone is just out of the question.
It makes me wonder if it's possible to make DEI illegal at the federal level, or will some faggot activist groups try to say it goes against some civil rights bullshit?
Obviously we will soon have a 7-2 court and they will allow DEI mandates to be eliminated, but that's going to take at least a couple years of court battles as far left groups try to stop them.
Discretion is something the Right is screaming about right now. The FDA recalled butter for not being labelled "contains milk".
Rules are made for idiots to navigate life, at the cost of everyone else and the infantilization of society.
Steel sharpens steel.
