What do they think tariffs are gonna do? Do they think it is like a video game where when you beat the final boss the doom and gloom that surrounds the area is suddenly lifted and it's all sunshine and green fields and birds singing?

Even if there was a solid plan on bringing back what they want back AND they are willing to actually work in those sweatshops it will take many years. Decades even.
