A tradeoff implies an understanding of what's being traded. I don't think the half of Americans suckling at the teat of fox and by extension trump knows what's going on.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Perfect understanding isn't even required, and often isn't possible, but the basic lack of understanding is sad. It's been what, a year, and people still don't understand how tariffs work for example.

That's not to say the lefts voters are perfect, far from it. I've gone on the record with my feelings about the general voting public, but one party is trying to tear the world down and that's what should be the focus.
