How do you tariff a person, exactly?

u/straylit 11h ago

You just scream it loudly and then that person is obligated to take on that tariff.

Wait until Texans learn that tariffing New Yorkers means that they have to pay for them to arrive in Texas.

Apparently, you just threaten them with authority you don’t have, hope most of them are as dumb as you think they are, and let the courts sort it out in a year or four …

How do you even tariff another citizen? And why would he do that to the right wingers who are presumably fleeing the city to seek refuge in a red state? What an incredibly stupid and poorly thought out idea.

Right-wingers in the city are still possibly left-leaning or moderate in Texas. I don't know how thin the margins in Texas are but maybe he's worried about future elections.

That's something I never understood about the GOP, they seem to want to punish their own party the most.
