Are you retarded? If you're getting undercut by foreign companies you either have to adapt or you'll go bankrupt. Freetrade makes it impossible to compete with third world workers

Our demand for cheaper goods and higher wages is what makes it impossible to compete with third world workers. Companies are just producing what we are demanding. So who's really to blame? Its not an easy problem and theres no easy solution so we tend to blame someone else instead of understanding the real issue.

Tariffs are an easy solution. People need to stop voting selfishly and think about what's best for the country. As the last real democrat president said:
"Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
