If you have a Republican Senator and/or House Rep, congratulations: today is your day!!
They can stop these mush-brained tariffs any time they want. They have that power. CALL THEM, relentlessly, and ask why they’re not doing that.
Pit Republicans against their president. Pit them against each other. Shake the jar and make them fight. This is a •huge• fracture point in the MAGA coalition. Stick dynamite in it and blow it up.
I wrote here about exploiting coalition fracture points as a strategy, and about how the right wing has had wild success doing it to the left for decades now:

We need to wise up and seize this strategy in moments when it is viable. Now is such a moment.
Find the fracture points in the coalition and drive a stick of dynamite into each one of them. The right-wingers have been doing this to the US left — “left” as in “everything left of fascist” — for a decade now, with •wild• success. Anything that divides the coalition, they inflame it, make it a crisis, force people to take sides. 2/
