Yeah, emotions like "I wish I could afford to buy food."
You can experience that emotion and then logic your way to "it probably doesn't make sense then to vote for massive tariffs." If you don't logic your way to that next point, then yeah, you're making a bit of an emotionally-tainted decision.
Except voting for massive tariffs make sense from an environmental and workers point of view. Logic instead of emotions was lacking in the democrats camp too.
Massive tariffs will drive up costs and lead to worldwide economic instability. It didn’t work in 1929 and it’s not going to work in 2025.

People don't want food stamps, charity or a tax credit. They want good paying jobs.
