We realize that most Americans didn't vote for Trump (only 49.8%) and that most of those who did probably didn't understand what tariffs are and how they work and we realize that Trump's action and our response are going to hurt poor Americans, and poor Americans in red states more than others, but we're not going to take illegal tariffs sitting down.

Just a reminder who Trump is pissing off.

The reason? Electoral college. Why vote in the majority of states where the result is already predetermined?

    I think that's definitely a big reason for non-swing state voters but I do also think how hard it can be to vote in some states is a pretty bit barrier too. If you look at turnout data by state theres a reason a lot of the red states with the more strict laws have lower turnout compared to my home state of Oregon which isn't a swing state yet still can get 75% turnout in 2020 even though it's a solid blue state, cause we do full vote by mail.
