It would be a nice bonus if surplus American produce became somewhat affordable to Americans due to foreign disinterest.
But it is not going to, you are only going to get F’d over some more. You import most of your fertilizer, Trumps tariffs will hurt you there. Trump plans on ramping up ICE raids so a lot of your foreign labour is going.
What are you doing about it?
I don't live in the US, but pretending that I do, you sound a lot like you're blaming me. What exactly would you like me to do? I can think of a number of ways I could suffer and die for the cause, but not how to actually change anything.
Fair, I am going to pull a Canadian and apologize. I am trying to get over the Americans infiltrating the r/BuyCanadian group.
I am not yet a full convert away from Reddit.
Part of a successful message to these shitheads is to stop using their services. That means Reddit. Quit today.
As a bonus, when you take your thoughts and eyes elsewhere, the assholes trolling just look even dumber. Nothing takes the hot air our of a flatulent anus more than forcing them to play bugle for an empty room; the best internet insult was always "noone cares"
Protest.
Doing the same thing I've been doing for years. Been focusing on my "main" guns, getting better with 9mm, AR and 12-gauge. Working on shelter and supplies far from here. Actually working on all that this week, off till Friday!
If they come for my legal immigrant wife, they're getting blasted through the fucking door.
If Red Shirts come knocking, they're getting blasted through the fucking door.
What else is in my power? Marches and protests are a fucking joke. A general strike is the only power the masses have, and these masses voted for Trump. My fat-as-fuck fellow Americans dare not miss a meal to take a single day off.
That's likely the plan. Problem is, it'll only work in the short term. The US is a globally integrated nation. Nationalism is moronic because globally integrated means that we fundamentally don't have the capacity to do certain things or the raw resources.
Fertilizer, vehicles (except recently historically Tesla), batteries, microchips, some farming and ranching, and a lot of dirty industry are all things that the US either doesn't or can't do anymore.
Regardless, the tariffs (regressive taxes) will inflate the costs of all imported goods and impoverish the average US citizen while concentrating wealth in the richest. Then we'll get more of the cheerleading nationalism and blaming Canada and Greenland for things, then war to get things back to how they were by punishing the people who have nothing to do with it
