It's not globalism, it's capitalism. Look at it this way ...
Imagine you come from nothing. You work your àss off and scratch together enough coin to start your own business or buy an existing one. Should you sacrifice your profitability to try and make products in the US where the city, county, state, and federal government drop layers upon layers of regulatory bullshìt on your doorstep and create mounds of monthly, quarterly, and annual paperwork for you to try to keep up with.
Then you have to go build a facility which will require an unbelievable amount of DEQ reports and and red tape to get approval on. Then you'll have to build a building to some ridiculous code and make it look a certain way because the local Mayor got an ordinance in saying every building should be made of the same shìt colored brick. Meanwhile, there will be a group of "concerned citizens" fighting you every step of way because your 17ing up something they care deeply about like the migratory path of the white winged eastern mosquito hawk.
After all of that, you get the privilege of trying to hire the American worker. The fat, lazy, entitled, a holes that aren't actually gainfully employed these days. They'll work for 6-8 months and jump right back on that unemployment gravy train you snatched them up from. They want Fridays off now. They want you to pay for their skyrocketing insurance costs. They'll want you to pat them on the head and run their tummies telling them how great they are for at best mediocre work in most cases. They'll likely find some kind of union to jump in with overtime.
17 that. Stuff will get expensive as 17 and be nowhere near the quality we image with American made these days.
The US is at full effective work capacity. We don't have the hardworking blue collar workforce that built this country from the 1880's to 1980's. We have some of those people and they're all working. If I build a new factory I either have to steal them and force existing businesses to hire the pieces of shìt or I have to hire the pieces of shìt. But either way, a business that relies on pieces of shìt employees is going to fail.
So rather than using tariffs to fix our problems how about this. Get these lazy mfers off unemployment, social security, and whatever other government teat they suckle from... Cut federal funding to every city, state, and county that doesn't eliminate 75% of the bullshìt red tape they have put in the books over the last 30 years. Fix our insurance system. Fix the public school system to quit codelling these 17ing kids and giving them grades just to move them along.
The biggest reason shìt is not made in the US anymore is other countries have hardworking blue collar motherf17ers that either work or starve to death. We have a bunch of candy àss pencil pushers that rely on the welfare state and support the regulation that crush the entrepreneurial spirit that built this country.
So you say it's the globalists and I say it's the gubmentists. Big government is the enemy of American manufacturing. Global trade is the only option for many US industries because the gubmentists have forced their hand. The solution is not to add a tariff, but to fix the root cause. Tariffs are and always have been a liberals solution to capitalism... Capitalism is economic freedom pure and simple.

TLDR: Other countries trade policies and antitrust aren't the problem, it's our city, county, state, and federal burdens and welfare states that are killing American manufacturing. Tariffs don't fix that.
