As a Californian, I demand a tariff on every truckload of ANYTHING coming out of our state.

And trainloads too.

Without the Port of Los Angeles, every fucking Walmart and , what will hurt the most, every BASS PRO SHOP in red states will be virtually empty unless they pay up,
Almost everything from China comes through us.
The Central Valley of California produces 1/4 of the nations food.
There’s countless ways to put tariffs on many many other things.

And the money goes into a fund distributed annually to the citizenry, like The Socialist Republic of Alaska does.

When they retaliate and put tariffs on us for incoming products, screw ‘em, I guarantee we can produce a huge amount of things we need, and import the rest ourselves, tariff free, especially cars, all the Chinese electric vehicles cost ONE FOURTH of electric vehicles we are allowed to buy now, and Suzuki and others are producing lots of cheap, practical vehicles.

Hey, a man can dream can’t he?
