Newsom is directing his state to pursue "strategic" relationships with countries announcing retaliatory tariffs against the U.S., urging them to exclude California-made products from those taxes.

Not good enough. Like the 1828 tariffs, that forced South Carolina to buy overpriced shit from northern states, California needs to push for secession. California money where given to DNC or GOP was largely used to elect the most Israel first candidate. Other countries should not support/exempt California if it enables America in any way.

Understanding that tariffs are an attack on Americans, is a key understanding for not tolerating unity. Even if it protects some businesses, and might encourage investment in manufacturing overpriced stuff down the road, it is an overpricing and tax attack on all Americans, in order to benefit a select few protected group that may be far away from California.

Cars are a big deal with Chinese alternatives already having a big value advantage. Korean and Japanese and European EVs pretty decent. Steel and Aluminum tariffs alone make US manufacturing produce premium priced, without quality advantage, products. Auto tariffs mean not just another production cost increase, but a profit boost, from cartel competition relief.

What South Carolina did in 1828 was just say "we're not paying any tariffs" attempt to get more port traffic, and alternate source of goods. The secessionist resentment was also fueled by England not buying as much cotton because they were selling fewer stuff from the empire. Seeds for hating the federal government in SC, lasted a generation and spread to other southern states.
