If Alphabet, Meta, Boeing, Ford, and Apple all run losses this year the administration’s trade policies will look like a huge failure and voters will notice

Voters notoriously love big tech and their profit margins.

Voters dislike layoffs and recession. You think massive layoffs along American manufacturers is going to be popular?

No it’s more broadly distributed to be sure but it’s not *exclusively* leftists who lose all their income

A general strike by the leftmost 10% means plentiful work for anyone willing to support the admin or turn a blind eye and complete pauperization of the left; a general demand shock means less work around

Ah, back to international boycotts being easier to organize than a national general strike. Are you a Russian troll or something?

Yes, international boycotts are easier because Trump is very unpopular worldwide but only moderately unpopular in the U.S., and switching from Tesla to BYD is much easier than becoming homeless *as has been empirically demonstrated* but if you want to call for a general strike knock yourself out

Neat, and this accomplished nothing that wasn’t already in the works at that time.
