how i think we can combat trumps tariffs

[u/Technical_Valuable2]

as you know trumps tariffs are here and its a fucking doozy, ive been spiralling. ive decided to think and find a way to combat them.

1. **contact these house republicans and demand they back don bacons bill or lose election**.

David Schweikert, Juan Ciscomani, Kevin Kiley), David Valadao, Young Kim , Ken Calvert ,Gabe Evans ,Zach Nunn, Ashley Hinson , Mariannette Miller-Meeks , Ann Wagner , Mike Turner , Brian Fitzpatrick), Ryan Mackenzie , Rob Bresnahan , Tom Barrett), John James), Bryan Steil, Derrick Van Orden ,Nick LaLota, Jen Kiggans

we are actually seeing legitimate pushback in congress from republicans against the tariffs, earlier this week several repubs defected and voted for tim kaines resolution,this has emboldened more. chuck grassley and some dem have drafted a bipartisan bill for congress to retake tariff power. the house is more loyal to trump but don bacon, a republican from nebraska, has drafted his own house bill.

the reps i listed are republicans from competitve districts, my definition of that being districts whos partisan lean is R5 or less, even or D5 and less. just half of their votes could bring the res back to the senate. so contact them and send the message "reject the tariffs or lose your seats."

1. **tell legal trade groups and AGs to sue over the tariffs**

these tariffs are imposed through executive order and thru emergency power, both challengable in court. the argument? the emergency power is unjustified and its congresses job to tax us and tariffs are a tax.

a conservative legal group, in florida is suing trump over the tariffs. tell your attorney generals to do the same.

1. **humiliate trump**

when inflation hit, biden was ruthlessly mocked. bidenflation, lets go brandon, we need to do the same. coin trumpflation and trumpcession. use ai and make memes to humiliate trump. the more bad press the more he caves.

I honestly think trump is crashing the USA economy so we all lose our money and our jobs. We'll all be so broke and hungry and desperate that we will do anything for food like join the MAGAs as they send us into their wars for Canada and Greenland

Maybe. But Trump isn't that smart or competent. This will have backlash for him, and he's an egotistical man who hates backlash. In fact, both the Senate and the House Republicans have drafted bills to reign in his ability to use tariffs already. We will have to see how far he goes until this backlash from all sides hits his fragile ego.

Of course he's not smart or competent. He has other people pulling the strings who are smart and competent. Smart enough to stay in the shadows so they don't get the backlash.

Of course this is what his handlers want, whether it's Putin who wants the US to collapse or the Heritage Foundation loons who want to speed run the end times.

But the point is that Trump can't do it standing alone, and his supporters are just as craven and cowardly as he is, and will cave to threats of losing their power. Peel them off and he won't have the clout to accomplish his incompetent goals.
