Most voters want GOP-led Congress to limit Trump's tariffs

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

President Donald Trump's nonsensical "Liberation Day" tariffs are unpopular, and voters want Congress to stop them, according to a new poll conducted by Civiqs for Daily Kos.

The poll, fielded April 12 to 15, finds that 53% of registered voters oppose the tariffs Trump placed on nearly every country in the world. That includes 50% of independents, 45% of whom are strongly opposed to the tariffs.

Voters oppose Trump's tariffs likely because they believe the tariffs will raise prices. Experts say the tariffs could cost the average American household $4,700 a year.

The Civiqs/Daily Kos poll finds 67% of voters believe the tariffs will raise the prices on everyday items. That includes a plurality (33%) of Republican voters, who are usually reluctant to criticize Trump’s agenda. Another 28% of GOP voters say they are "unsure" if tariffs will increase costs—likely because they don’t want to admit that tariffs will raise costs.

1. I don't want the tariiffs limited

I want them put in the shitcan where they belong. Trump knows of thievery and grift. He knows nothing of government fiscal management. And leadership by fear and intimidation is always a recipe for disaster.

2. Republican-led Congress ain't going to do shit.

Republicans think won't suffer any consequences from this. And even if they did...Trump is stuffing this down their throats. Like it or not.

3. So at least 14% of voters know tariffs are going to raise prices but support them anyway

This is what we're up against. This fanaticism, this desire for addictive zealotry, this willingness to sacrifice everything for one man's ego, this is near the heart of our society's failure. Our society's failure is humanity's failure. Our weaknesses are human weaknesses. To overcome them we will need to evolve, if not genetically (too slow, we don't have time for that) at least memetically.

6. 53% Against Is Indicative Of...

...the ignorance of so many voters.
Those "unsure" voters are unlikely to know what tariffs are, and the 28% who support them are thinking either, that they won't be affected or buy the nonsense that income taxes will go away.
Drones on parade.
