A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

A side effect of tariffs is making less powerful countries play ball.

We have historic evidence that insane tariffs like this hurt the economy and no historic evidence that they help. Care to provide any expert sources saying this won't be a disaster? Because I sure can't find any outside of conservative think tank mouthpieces

If anyone in this discussion doesn't understand tariffs, it's Trump who thinks other countries will pay for it. Those 2018 tariffs TOTALLY didn't result in companies using Thailand as a middleman to avoid paying and then passing on those extra costs to us! US companies were DEFINITELY not buying 99% complete products from Hina and "finishing" them here! That's why we're all using affordable solar panels now
