Artificially propped up industries are harmed by free trade no doubt. At least I have seen you admit that some industries LOSE jobs when retaliatory tariffs accompany and follow new tariff imposition.
There is a domestic market for all of those products they make. It hurts profits margins not employment. In addition the tariffs stimulate new domestic production so they INCREASE employment overall. You can at least admit that?
What Free Traitors™ want you to believe is that the supply function is static and no new domestic suppliers will EVER come on line. Despite their best efforts to the contrary brand new factories are still being built in the USA all the time. Not as many as are closed mind you, but the situation is dynamic and not static. With more domestic supply will mean pressure to reduce prices.
