Tariffs were/are a bad idea and should be criticized

And before you say I have TDS, I voted for the orange man. I voted for him even knowing about his tariffs plan and disagreeing with it beforehand. If you’re from the Austrian or Chicago school of economics, I don’t think I need to explain why tariffs are bad. However I’ve noticed more than a few libertarians whom seem to have abandoned their ideals all just to spite the anti-Trump progressive mainstream media (looking at you beinglibertarian instagram account). Yes I know the only reason the mainstream media is against Trump’s tariffs is because it’s Trump doing it, and if Kamala had won and she’d been the one to do it the mainstream media would be defending it, but that doesn’t matter. Abandoning your ideals JUST to be a mindless contrarian is stupid. Supporting the Trump tariffs because you don’t want to upset the MAGA crowd and because you want to trigger the libtards is the easy route. Staying consistent with your world view is the hard route.
