Just a thought that came to mind because IIRC, most of why offshoring happened is because Americans refuse to get paid at the low rates that the Chinas and Vietnams of this world will accept, so because wages are one of a company’s largest costs, will any of this even work long term? I don’t think there’s as many ‘disillusioned men’ that will take up the jobs as people think, but I also absolutely understand a country needs to produce a lot of its own goods to counteract stuff like war after all.

Not in the short term, no. Depends on whether Congress is able to codify any of this into law, and especially with Tariffs, whether the next President continues the tariffs as is. If corporations are faced with the prospect of long term tariffs, then and only then will manufacturing start a CONUS return.
However, all that being said, this will, I think, enable small manufacturing start ups to compete again.
