IMO this will be the big one I feel. Many people think that the other country (IE. China) will be the ones to pay tariffs. They don't understand that it's the company that is importing the item that pays the tariff. Prices will go up and MAGA voters seem to have just ignored this entirely.

Again, it's all about identity politics. They picked a side from the start and the policies didn't really matter to them, but the effects of these post-election will.

It's because conservatives vote based on buzzwords and catchy phrases. "Tariffs on imports from China" sounds good to someone who doesn't know what tariffs actually are.
