There's some serious cope going on in the MAGA movement. While I don't inherently disagree with tariffs, ramping them up right now will hit the working class really hard. Tariffs won't just raise prices on goods being imported. They'll raise prices on everything. It's basic economics 101. What happens when you restrict the supply? Prices go up. Even if one or two companies get their goods restricted because of increased tariffs, but 2 others don't, all of the companies will raise their prices. This is the end result of what happens with capitalism, when companies pursue profits above all other interests. These companies do not give one shit about us, or the welfare of the people, or this nation. It's profit and money (mammonism). That's it.

But, these very simple facts are being ignored by Trump supporters, because it makes Trump look bad. Like I said, I agree with the sentiment, but not right now. Americans are already close to destitution just from buying food, because of the rampant inflation. We have zero wiggle room. Increasing prices now will hurt a lot of people. This should be done later, when companies move their manufacturing back here, and when the economy is better.

But then again, high prices and inflation is caused by central banks, usury, money printing, and fractional reserve lending, essentially where the banks just print infinity fake money. If that isn't stopped, it doesn't matter what Trump, or anyone else, does with tariffs. Devaluation of currency via conjuration of infinity fake money always leads to collapse. Any type of "solution" proposed and enacted on top of malicious banking practices is like trying to build your house upon the sand. It's a fool's errand and doomed to failure.
