Also, what is with judges blocking shit, other judges unblocking it, how does that work? No need for a detailed wall of text, just some short explanation will do.

Item costs more to buy in US than else where. Extra cost goes to US government. US consumer pays extra. It's a tax that people don't believe is a tax because they get emotionally stuck on some moral high horse believing they are patriots doing their duty stickin' it to the current enemies by paying more for everything. Meanwhile stuff costs more because of "not a tax" that goes to "not the govt". Next time you buy something, ask yourself did i just pay a tariff? "Made in china". Yes you did, but it's not a tax. No sir. It's a patriot fee.
Sort of the opposite. I don't give a single shit about Our Enemies™. In fact, I wish them the best, because I want everyone to do well and get along, although I also understand that's a pipe dream. But, yeah, I don't care about our Enemies, nor do I particularly want to stick it to them. I do want to protect my people, though. And I don't think selling out to our adversaries, or even just foreigners, serves that purpose. I want a system that benefits us first. I want enemies, adversaries, and foreigners to have policies in place to protect their interests foremost, and us to have policies to protect our own interests foremost.
Eh, we also make an absolute shit ton more. Not sure if and where it all balances out but, we have it pretty good. Not as good as our ancestors, and that definitely fucking needs to be called out, as it's the result of the aforementioned treason, but we still have a very high quality of life, on the global scale. Things cost more, but we also have better things. Doesn't make everything right, but also needs to be taken into account.
Fuck the US government. And most cost of the US government comes from the US government. That's not on our enemies or adversaries, that's on our own traitors.
BRUH. How can you whine about tariffs, when everyone else tariffs us at a much higher degree, we regulate more, etc.? It's a super weird hill to die on, or more precisely a weird interpretation of that hill. We're all paying tariffs...but most of those aren't tariffs put in place by the US.
A tariff is a weapon...one we're finally using to fight back.
Sit the fuck down.
And moreover, I would that it has once again shown that our real friends are in Asia, not in Europe. Because when Trump announced these tariffs, Asian countries like Vietnam, Indonesia, Japan, etc all went "There is clearly an issue here. Let's sit down and have a chat." and have been spending the last month actively negotiating trade deals or working on smoothing things over (like how Japan has announced a metric shit ton of investments in US manufacturing).
Meanwhile, at the same time, Europe has been screaming about how this is yet more proof that Orange Man is still bad, and they will go it alone, only to find that they actually cant and decide they would rather spin in the wind than work with The Orange One.
I can agree the tariffs were rolled out in a stupid way. I wish it had been more tactically applied to punish our enemies and reward our friends. I would have rather seen a lot more deregulation than tariffing. But even with the blunt approach, it has done a very good job of showing who our actual friends are, and that the sooner we leave behind that decaying continent that is Europe and embrace the future in Asia, the better it will be for America in the long run.
So "fuck the govt" but you'll gladly pay them more because they have enemies you don't care about but still want to punish with a cool new weapon because that gives you a little buzz on your fanny, and also you make more money so it's all good "bruh". Did I get that all? Sounds like a retarded faggot explanation of why you absolutely for sure are not the victim of theft.
Stop buying funkpops, dipshit. Problem solved.
