Headline is more than a little clickbait-y.

Basically the governor is asking nations not to tariff goods made in California. He is not able to circumvent American tariffs, but he can try to play the game of “if you don’t tariff our goods, but instead hit red state exports , then California and other blue states can get richer and while red states get poorer, shifting the balance of power back to democrats and get a democratic government back who can repeal these tariffs.”

This person is a simpleton spamming the same talking points on several subreddits. They are not to be taken seriously, hard to change the mind of someone that views thinking as optional.

Yeah remaining logically consistent is only an issue for people that let facts dictate their beliefs. When your beliefs dictate the facts, reality can be whatever you want! 

Abortion is bad because killing innocent humans is wrong, but civilian deaths in a war for Greenland are actually justified. Why? Well why did Biden support killing civilians when he let Ukraine use long-range strikes? Why did Obama bomb civilians in Syria?

See how easy it is? State your blatantly illogical claim boldly and proudly, and when pushback comes “just ask questions” to obfuscate the fact that no objective reasoning could ever actually justify your claim. Then hope the other person starts scrambling to answer your questions and never actually talk about the fact that your entire premise is faulty.
