Not just RFK Jr. The rest of the government requiring a 15% kickback from Nvidia and AMD to approve GPU sales to China, and the CEO of Intel being told to resign.

I feel like I'm going to be able to tell my adult kids "Yeah, when I was younger the Republicans were the party of free trade and government non-intervention in private industry..."

Conservatives have never been that party. They've always been the part of making the rich richer and the powerful more powerful by whatever means seem to work today. In the past free trade seemed to do that. Now arbitrary trade restrictions seem to do that. Or at least they feel so.
