The American greatness project relies on respect for democratic systems & institutions. Schedule F reverts us to a mockery of a system, to hardly better than the Andrew Jackson Spoils system; no one anywhere is going to respect the idea of governance at all if we just throw away our institutions. If we bypass Congress & have various appointed czars running the country. No one is going to respect us if we don't have any respect for ourselves. Squabbling about NATO bills seems ridiculous when the institutions and systems NATO was meant to protect are being canabalized, when the Heritage Foundation finally gets it's long held dream of plutocracy.
The idea that tariffs are making anyone else pay for things is u serious in extreme. China isn't paying for anything, no more so than Mexico paid for the flimsy poorly built border wall. Those costs will be paid by the consumer, or those goods will be sold into other markets, this time around just as last time. Reducing American business's ability to source parts and materials in the process.
America used to stand for somethin, used to have meaning. But there has been a persistent agitating element telling us the worst, saying our cities are overrun by violent anti fascist and other ridiculous fables, and they're using these tales of terror to undo and unmake America. In my view these are the enemy within, and their lack of respect for what we have as a nation is most telling, and will be seen far and wide, and people will think, well, why not go to China for partnerships? All sorts of world partnerships that would never have been considered when America was stable will seem to make more sense when there is such turmoil and undoing at home, when it's just illegotemate Spoils system again.
