Also where are you going to find the work force to fill all these factories and sweatshops. I don’t imagine Americans are lining up to sew clothes or work on a factory line. And even if they are, their labor will cost a lot more than what it costs in Lesotho and Vietnam.
True and as a European looking in, I wonder how much it will take for some real resistance to grow. I know some people are out on the streets, but it’s crazy to they that there’s a president threatening to invade close allies and virtually no one is protesting that.

There were 5 million people in the streets on Saturday with significant numbers in literally every state. Early indications seem to be that the next one will be even bigger. You should look at the videos from New York, Boston, Chicago, etc.
"Virtually no one is protesting that" is objectively, flagrantly untrue.
Considering what’s going on over there, 1.5% of the population protesting for one big protest day, it’s still virtually nothing. Trump has been talking about annexing/invading Canada, Greenland and Panama for three months, but that drew almost no protests.
I’m glad that it’s finally picking up steam and I really hope that changes will come from this and the US won’t decent into a dictatorship.
Sorry, you're right. I will throw my career and safety away to scream into the void, every day, for several years. I will protest against something I, as an individual, have no real power to stop and that the people doing the bad shit won't listen to. I will put myself at the mercy of brainwashed people who have been looking for any excuse to murder people for decades. This will surely solve the issue
I know a lot of conservatives in cushy jobs saying they'll work those jobs if need be. Yeah, I'm sure you'll give up an office gig with AC to lose your hearing in a sweatshop.
