I don't particularly like the idea of tariffs, but it is what it is.

Having to put up with policies you don't like is simply the social consequence of applying unpopular policies for four years in the other direction.

If the opposing party supports outsourcing, importing of labor, no protections for domestic industry, then they should expect retaliation from people who don't like those policies and who have the means to vote in someone who will push for whatever they view as corrective action.

This is a democracy. If one party pushes unpopular policies (unpopular to the other side), don't be surprised with the opposition pushes back.
