Interesting point. The irony that the far right, which is all about supposedly free markets, is now all in on tariffs, which are a nuclear weapon against free markets. The effects you hypothesize are exactly the kind of dynamic that that devotion to "the market" is supposed to mitigate. It's hilarious to see a progressive like you have to make that case. If you bend the American market all out of shape by artificially supporting fossil fuels, the forces you unleash will inevitably equalize somehow.
