Lol, people who support all these one-sided trade deals always work the slur word “protectionist” into their articles as often as possible, just as the Reverends Jesse and Al drop the “racism” accusation every other sentence.

Some things never change, but the great unwashed have caught on to the fact that these one-sided trade agreements are nothing but a sell out of the US for the benefit of a few. It’s long past time that the US stopped opening its markets to nations that use every trick in the book to keep theirs closed.

the slur word “protectionist”

It's strange that anyone would consider it wrong to be seen as wanting to protect America.   The problem may be one of focusing on personalities when we should be focusing on issues.  I mean, everyone wants a strong America and everyone wants freedom.  Not everyone wants import tax hikes.

Some of these free traders you see posting on these threads seem to have confused Conservatism with anarcho-capitalism.

We're going to have taxes, so no reason some of them or even most of them can't be tariffs.
