You've become the party of big business

Indeed.

How are steel and aluminum tariffs not going to raise the cost of
manufacturing of almost everything? How does the consumer benefit?

If you listen to NPR, they pretty much daily harp on
the horrors of tariffs and how average working class Americans
are going to get raped at the grocery store, all because Trump
isn't letting China flood the U.S. with their products (all the
while China tariffs the shit out of imported American stuff).

They've denied their own consumers the benefits of world trade. Not the
problem of the rest of the world.

Why don't you demand a solution for bringing down domestic manufacturing
costs? The problem isn't isolating American consumers from world trade.
It's the sky high cost of land.

Find a graph that makes this point, that land values began rising faster
than the rate of inflation starting in the late '70s/early '80s. You
think tariffs will solve the land problem, given that land values in
decent areas nearly doubled during COVID? Of akk people you think might
get this, it's Trump.
