The "party flip" narrative is one of the great myths of contemporary American political history. Nothing has changed in the Republican party apart from some slick marketing that they are now doing away with and making it abundantly clear the only thing they live for is to Africanize the world and violently impose faggotry and usury. The real change came in the Democratic party, which was brought into alignment with core Republican values.

Yes the Kurds stole Christian land, and forced marxism down school children's throats as some of their first acts of government.

This is a worn out record at this point. China makes everything. They have a massive population with an easy ~100 IQ floor for the bulk of it. The US is a collapsing negro country with huge swaths of the people expected to defend it carrying room temperature IQs. They had to literally roll back the retardation threshold by double digits to accommodate their population.
The US has no play that isn't nuclear and that is a two-way street. That's why they intend to violently niggerize and genocide their White population and try to sell themselves to African countries as a nigger superpower that will give free reign to rape and pillage whatever is left of Europe if they just hand over the coltan mines.

Not really. All arguments against Tariffs are just generic "Govt sucks" arguments, thus they aren't really arguments.
Tariffs are GOOD because they are TAXES. All this talk about Trade Wars and "passing on cost to consumers" and "distort the free market" etc misses the real issue. Why SO much drama over this one particular minor type of tax, when we already have a massive stealth-tax when (((The Fed))) prints money to support multi-trillion dollar 'deficits'. There are no 'deficits', only tax increases.
Anyways, back to "Tariffs, The Good Taxes"(tm). It is sorta true that when one group gets a tax cut everyone else gets a tax increase. So….when one group gets a tax increase everyone else gets a TAX DECREASE. :) The entire anti-Tariff argument can be easily reduced to "taxes are bad because they cost people money", which isn't a valid point. Economic profs drill their students with the diagrams proving Tariffs ONLY make things worse for everyone. But as soon as you ask "then were SHOULD taxes cum from, professor?" it all falls apart into some Communist or Libertarian fantasy. As long as we remain IRL where lots of taxes are needed for at least SOME shit (police, fire, roads, military), Tariffs start looking like best possible option. According to my own personally created economic theory, Tariffs, if "done right" will result in equal amounts of': a) higher cost to domestic consumer b) lower profits to foreign producer, thus…….the Foreign Producer ends up paying a WHOOPING 50% of your tax (your govt gibs).
Tariffs (ie favoring domestic production) has numerous IRL benefits (((Economists))) (globalists) pretend don't exist: 1)As taxes go, they are low cost to collect. IRS regs are in the 40,000 pages and increasing, and all of that costs huge money on both sides. Also leads to "crimes", enforcement, collections, seizure, etc. Its an ongoing Guerilla War/Counter Insurgency of People VS Govt. Property Tax? Ditto. Sales Tax at cash registrar, or even Amazon? Are U fucking kidding? Govt is running % to grab pennies? WTF? In contrast, if the product being Tariff-ed don't lend to smuggling (crude oil, cars, etc), collecting the tax is trivial and guaranteed to be paid in advance. Mr Honda don't want 500,000 units of 2018 aging at dock due to Tariff dispute.
2)Trade “Wars” (encouraging local alternatives) can prevent REAL wars. And if not actual hot-war, then reduce shortages, price gouging, etc resulting from overseas shenanigans we can’t control and shouldn’t be involved in trying to control. There should be a domestic supply of all needed products at at least a subsistence level so if foreign supply ends local production can quickly be ramped up VS start from scratch by people who don’t know WTF they are doing.
3)Toxic/Defective products are deterred if all parties are under same national legal system.
4) In direct contradiction to what my well-meaning extremist Austrian School prof says (once you grant that SOME tax funds are required) Tariffs aren’t just OK for us, but its perfectly OK if everyone else puts Tariffs on our stuff to raise their needed Tax Funds. It all evens out, with the result that imports cost more, but everyone’s OTHER taxes are reduced, so costs are really the same, but everyone has more locally produced products and less FOREIGN ENTANGEMENTS. With Tariffs, you eliminate things like GM lobbying for more US tax payer funded military in South Korea because they have a partnership that makes those little Chevy Spark cars. And don’t get me started on all this “our vital interests in the the Middle East” BS. OK, you got me started. Our only interest in the ME is oil, which dictates our only goal in the ME should be extreme “regime change” in the only nation that interferes with our oil producing trade partners, Israel.
All in all, domestic production is much more cosy than foreign imports. A health society needs a complete variety of "employment situations" just to keep marginal types off the streets and out of trouble. Rosa Parks' job was "sewing bedsheets", good honest work. Today that is all done by overseas slave labor and your typical Negress is a welfare drug addict. Your bedsheets cost $3 less but 1/3 of the city is a no-go zone.
As the Klu Klux Klan points out, prior the IRS and The Fed, when the USA was all healthy and growing, our Fed Govt was mostly funded by Tariffs.
Tariffs should be the first thing ANYONE, anywhere should consider when they think about funding ANY tax funded ANYTHING. Tariffs are the ONLY tax that isn’t also toxic to the society in various “economic friction” ways, as well as an elixir in several social areas.

Tariffs are not bad in and of themselves. They are bad when you don't have a real manufacturing base. Goosing the tariffs over a period of 4-8 years isn't going to magically make all of that departed and relocated industry come back – especially when the designated rival is a larger, wealthier market than you are. The capital will simply wait you out passing along the costs to the consumer while the government uses the injection of skim to block bust Whitey and send "anti-semites" to county lockup.

The party flip to the right for the Republicans came with the assassination of George Wallace and Nixon's "Southern Strategy" which was a successful fraud.
I gave you that Grand Tour clip that's so impressive to see. This article is far more impressive and important to read;

it didn't work when Brazil thought they'd force-start a home grown computer industry.
But the USA would start producing wrenches, screwdrivers and furniture easy enough if there was a price point.
