MODERATORS
I'd like to think so, but seeing how most of the population of the US is very disconnected from and apathetic about politics, current affairs, or anything outside of their personal bubble, I'm not going to rely on that possibility.
They will pay attention when their prices skyrocket. Other then that they are braindead to anything else. I say, let it happen.
Maybe, but who will they direct that anger at?
Will it be at Trump and his cronies, or will they direct it at whoever they are told is "America's enemies"?
Very good point. It depends. The shitty economic situation in the US is directing their anger towards Canada (as the "taking advantage" of the US narrative tracks), it's doubtful they will direct their ire to the US govt seeing as it has so much support.
Maybe, but there's a good chance that they'll blame Canada.
On one hand, more than 50% of Americans read below a 6th grade level so it wouldn't be surprising if they misattributed the blame. I doubt many would be able to tell you what a tariff is or how it works.
But on the other, greater than 50% are not pleased with how Trump has handled the economy thus far and the consequences haven't even hit their wallets yet.
Americans are extremely disconnected politically but if there's one thing they care about its the price of gas. If that goes up substantially then they will blame the president.
