Is globalism and "free trade" what's destroying the GOP? (America-first vanity)

Yesterday I happened upon a post by a fellow FReeper. In retrospect, I am sorry for responding rudely to their post - and I hope they happen upon this apology.
The post was presenting their heartfelt opinion that American industry and our system itself must be allowed to come apart so that something better can replace it.
It was a Rand-ian position. The system is becoming oppressive, therefore we must weaken it.

Oh no, we wouldn’t do that! We put Reagan’s pictures on the punching bags; we reserve the dart-board for the Founding Fathers...

If we are going to call tariffs “regulations” (and they do have their regulatory aspect), we may as well call them “taxes.”
