The Republican Party insists that “wokeness” is the gravest threat to freedom—while shrugging at concentration camps, secret police, and mass detentions without trial. Pronouns in bios are tyranny. But throwing immigrants in cages? Just good governance.

From what I can find, tariffs on China held over by Biden from trump’s first term were 25% or more. Now they are 30%. Only a 5% hike. How is this going to stop the flow of “cheap Chinese goods” into the US? Reshoring business to the US was never a goal.
