Also, if all tariffs do is raise prices to consumers, why are all the governments, not consumers, up in arms?

All the data is in NATIONAL SUIDICE: MILITARY AID TO THE SOVIET UNION and THE BEST ENEMY MONEY CAN BUY.

All of this happened rapidly in the 1933-1939 time frame, from the time FDR recognized the Bolshevik government until just before Germany invaded the USSR. Very opportune timing. Meanwhile our jobless rate was over 24%.

Unemployment during the great depression - Economics Help
The U.S. unemployment rate reached its peak during the Great Depression in 1933, with 24.9% of the workforce jobless. By 1939, the unemployment rate had decreased significantly, but still remained above pre-depression levels.
Here’s a more detailed look at the unemployment rates during this period:
1933:
The unemployment rate peaked at 24.9%.
This translated to 12.83 million unemployed people.
1934:
The unemployment rate began to decline, reaching 21.7%.
1935:
The unemployment rate further decreased to 20.1%.
1936:
The unemployment rate continued to fall, reaching 16.9%.
1937-1939:
While the unemployment rate continued to decrease, it remained above the pre-Depression levels.
The unemployment rate was around 15% in January 1936.
The outbreak of World War II in 1939 significantly impacted the labor market, drawing millions into the military and eventually leading to a decrease in unemployment.
