It seems like if you want a trade war with China, you’d want partners to help you apply pressure and replace Chinese goods you can’t do without. Maybe somewhere like Vietnam for cheap labor; Canada for rare-earth minerals; and the EU to buy expensive American goods and services. Oh no.
No Mr. Brooks, you were all reactionaries. Just because MAGA doesn’t go around quoting Edmund Berk doesn’t mean that they don’t understand him, perhaps better than you. What did Burke advocate for if not for the French Revolutionaries to be brought low and for the kings to be restored?
You’re heroes resent extending political power to the bourgeoisie, so please stop talking about what conservatives thinkers want to do for the “working people”. Fuck off.
