We realize that most Americans didn’t vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn’t understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump’s action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we’re not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.

Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

    The choices available were “not doing enough to stop it” and “actively participating”. In this instance, not voting was equivalent to choosing the latter.

      No the choices were “loudly support” or “quietly support” crimes against humanity.
