I was at the grocery store the other day and there was a bin of American broccoli completely full and untouched. The Canadian broccoli bin? Empty. Canadians would literally rather give up broccoli than buy American.
I for one picked had broccoli on my grocery list but opted for cauliflower instead.
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
