...but can you name ONE thing good about raising tariffs? Intellectual honesty would be appreciated. (but not expected).

Raising tariffs will allow the protected industry to raise their own prices, thus increasing their revenue and maximizing their profits. So from their point of view that is one good think about tariffs.

Intellectually honest enough to qualify?

Raising tariffs will allow the protected industry to raise their own prices, thus increasing their revenue and maximizing their profits until more domestic suppliers come online which will put pressure to lower prices and dramatically increase US employment and wages. Domestic competition works the same as international competition to keep prices in check.

Fixed it for you.
