Economic Nationalism

You believe that prioritizing domestic businesses and industries will lead to increased economic growth, self-sufficiency, and national prosperity.

Economic nationalism is a political ideology that emphasizes domestic control of the economy, labor, and capital formation, even if this requires the imposition of tariffs and other restrictions on the movement of labor, goods, and capital. It is a form of protectionism and is often associated with opposition to globalization, free trade, immigration, and foreign direct investment. Economic nationalists argue that a country should maintain control over its economy and that it should avoid becoming too dependent on foreign countries.

The history of economic nationalism dates back to…

What talents or local businesses could flourish in your community if there were incentives for buying and selling locally only?

 @9KFSBTXDemocrat from Ohio  answered…2yrs2Y

We need to not tax the rich, middle class, or poor. We should instead promote economic stabilization through each class doing its part. (I am not advocating for trickle down economics I simply think if the economy relies too much on the rich then it will collapse)

 @9KFSPL2Independent from Colorado  answered…2yrs2Y

I wish that we could create individual nationalism, where we are able to disconnect from capitalism as much as possible, grow our own food, go off-grid.

 @9KFSMVKRepublican from Georgia  answered…2yrs2Y

There would definitely be a surge in clothing brands if there were not such large scale brands prevalent in my area.

 @9KFSQCTPeace and Freedom from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

Kindness, Poliness, and Respectfulness to not no be imperfective

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think your friendships might be affected if you could only consume media that was produced in your home country?

 @9KM2V9NDemocrat  from New York  answered…2yrs2Y

We would be much more close minded and oblivious to things that happen outside of the U.S.

 @9KMQG7W from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I think that is getting too much with it because they always make people believe it.

 @9KM3K58Independence from West Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

we'd be pretty sheltered if we only got US media and so it'd probably decrease our social standard with other countries

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think the quality and diversity of your diet would change if all your food had to be sourced from local farmers?

 @9JS5XGP from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

My diet would be so much better. The reason why is because if food is locally sourced it would be fresh and it would not have chemicals and other things that I don't know in it. I would personally like locally sourced, fresh, and no chemicals in it.

 @9JS6FRV from Idaho  answered…2yrs2Y

all of my food would be at least three times healthier, and the quality and diversity would increase.

 @9JS6B4F from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I think it would be a lot better to get food only sourced from farmers. The quality of the food would be better, but it would most likely narrow down the foods I was eating.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How do you think a shift towards more locally produced movies and TV shows would shape the stories and representation you see on screen?

 @9KJM868Libertarian from Oklahoma  answered…2yrs2Y

We should use our resources and mind our own business as a nation. Create jobs for our own country. We rely too much on other countries with the same talent and potential many Americans possess.

 @9KJLPF5Socialist  from Texas  answered…2yrs2Y

I feel this may limit our shared knowledge among humanity. As someone who uses TikTok, there is not extensive censorship, which does have its pros and cons; We are able to connect with others from different places and get a more raw depth understanding to grow as individuals and a collective whole. If we were to limit media to only localized content, we would not be able to grow understandings as we have with openly structured media.

 @9KJL3G8from Guam  answered…2yrs2Y

There might be more "woke" stuff that raises awareness about societal problems locally, I guess.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would your plans for higher education or travel abroad be impacted by your country focusing exclusively on domestic services?

 @9HFBVBL from Louisiana  answered…3yrs3Y

It would make us a place where we could maybe live in peace and not have so much violence and maybe we can have a better police force to help stop most of this.

 @9HFBQZFRepublican from Louisiana  answered…3yrs3Y

It would be unrelated and more important nowadays because of the education we get now but it would be more difficult because that is a big change and a lot happening in one moment.

 @9HFBP47Justice party memberanswered…3yrs3Y

You would be thrown off of your plans because everyone is mostly going to want people who will work in domestic services.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Would choosing a job in a locally-run business over a multinational firm feel like a sacrifice or a point of pride to you?

 @9JS8PM8 from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

It would depend on the cooperations that I would be working for but in general, yes.

 @9JSJ27MLibertariananswered…2yrs2Y

yes, I would prefer to work for a local business than a big corporation. I believe I'm really helping with a local business my position hold importance and helps people, with a big corp I feel like a little minion my positions worth nothing, and I feel like I'm worth nothing.

 @9JS8WM4Peace and Freedomanswered…2yrs2Y

i feel more pride in myself because the authenticity in working in a small buisness rather than a big buisness and i dont think it would matter the sacrifice if the small buisness has many intrest that i like

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

If your country stopped importing goods and focused on producing everything locally, what changes would you expect in your daily life?

 @9H8RXPJ from Florida  answered…3yrs3Y

Prices to change and products harder to obtain. I believe that any country should aim to produce their own produce but not stop importing until the cost is about the same or less domestically. I also believe that there should always be an option to purchase international goods regardless of if that product is produced domestically or not.

 @9H8RGYQ  from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

I would expect the prices of many products to increase dramatically.

 @9H8RLT7from Maine  answered…3yrs3Y

A very significant decrease in quality of life and availability of goods.

 @9H8RYK2Peace and Freedom from Arkansas  answered…3yrs3Y

Stores and places would change due to the fact we wouldn't be getting all the resources we had. The country would be is distraught.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Do you feel a sense of loyalty to buy products made in your own country, even if they cost more or have lower quality?

 @9H85FKZ from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

I don't. With the amount of money that comes into the U.S., there should be no problem making quality products for reasonable prices, but we're too focused on making the most amount of money we can spending the least amount possible.

 @9H8PWQHRepublican from Nebraska  commented…3yrs3Y

The US isn't focused on spending the least amount of money possible because we have lent out tons of money to other countries despite being in debt

 @9H86VMQ from Minnesota  answered…3yrs3Y

I think it is important to buy products created in your country to grow the overall economy and increase the wellbeing of the people in your country and community.

 @9H8PWQHRepublican from Nebraska  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes because I can guarantee it wasn't made by child laborers and I would also rather to pay my own country than another because money means power and its dangerous to give other countries too much power.

 @9H84W3Z from California  answered…3yrs3Y

I feel a little sense of loyalty but I don't mind where the product was made.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

In a world where each country only used its own tech companies, which local tech innovation would you be most proud of?

 @9HH6R46Working Family from Texas  answered…3yrs3Y

I believe that it would be best if we depended on ourselves and our economies to survive that way can stay out conflict as well with other countries when there is a war. But trading with other places can also be very beneficial for the country.

 @9HFLJH9 from North Carolina  answered…3yrs3Y

I would be most proud of our creation of the internet

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How do you personally weigh the potential benefits of economic nationalism against the drawbacks of reduced international trade?

 @9H7WFJSWomen’s Equality from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

I have no idea, I don’t know enough about this to make a judgement on this certain topic.

 @9H8XC7Z from Arizona  answered…3yrs3Y

By increasing economic nationalism, it benefits US citizens because it grants them more job opportunities and wage increases and limits non-citizens' ability to gain access to jobs.

 @9H7YDW3 from Illinois  answered…3yrs3Y

There could be less variety in products since it is such a free market, as well as less money for the actual economy as a whole

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your social media feeds change if content from international creators was restricted?

 @9HYGV9Tanswered…2yrs2Y

It would not change very much I mostly see things from people in the United States.

 @9HYDHM7 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

it would change a decent amount. probably a quarter of the people I follow online are from different countries and half of the random feed I see is from different countries so it would change alot

 @9HYY6GT from Arizona  answered…2yrs2Y

I feel like there would be very little change due to the fact I mostly see things to due with the U.S.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Could prioritizing your country's industries impact your fashion choices, and would you be okay with it?

 @9HFH2D5 from Louisiana  answered…3yrs3Y

I don't really get this question nor do I have a "fashion choice" in the first place.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

What do you think would happen to the variety and innovation of products if your country primarily relied on its own industries?

 @9H873W8Peace and Freedom from Arkansas  answered…3yrs3Y

We would run out quick. We use so much that soon there would not be enough.

 @9H86PRY from Arkansas  answered…3yrs3Y

It would go lose all its power and resources almost everything around us comes from another country

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Do you think it's fair to limit foreign companies from investing in your country if it meant more jobs for locals?

 @9H7X5KQ from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

No i think that isnt a problem but we need to make sure the foreigners stay foreign so we keep the fight out of the us and in the foreign countries

 @9H7WKPX from Georgia  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes because more jobs for locals means better chances they make money

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What would be your main concerns if your healthcare relied entirely on medicine and technology produced in your country?

 @9J2FDWWIndependent from California  answered…2yrs2Y

my main concerns would be medicine affecting the way your body reacts when you get sick because of hoe used to it would get from taking medicine everytime one is sick.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How might your celebrations and holidays shift if all decorations, foods, and customs had to originate from within your country?

 @9J6NKBY from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

i would eat trees. there would be a tree eating competition. i would win annually.

 @9J6N6GLIndependent from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

We eat pasta on christmas and seven fish on christmas eve everything would be torn apart

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

How would your everyday life change if all the technology you use was produced in your country?

It would be far easier to obtain products, and it would produce a higher state of living

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would you adapt your lifestyle if economic nationalism led to the discontinuation of certain global brand products?

 @9KT22Y7 from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

i would find alternatives to the discontinued products i used

 @9KSBHV5Independent from Pennsylvania  answered…2yrs2Y

Probably use more stuff from smaller or local buisnesses.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would the dating scene be altered if fashion and dining options reflected pure economic nationalism?

 @9LFMFQM from West Virginia  answered…2yrs2Y

We can still have these fashionable things, just made from different material.

 @9LFK5WWIndependent from Illinois  answered…2yrs2Y

If they restrict all the places to eat and shop, people would just find somewhere else to go on their date.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If elevation of local sports leagues came at the cost of international competition in athletics, what would you gain and lose as a fan?

i would gain more expensive tickets and lose ur fave fan

 @9JLX9G4 from Washington D.C.  answered…2yrs2Y

gain because more effort put into this stuff will better in the long run

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

If you were only taught about local history and achievements in school, how would that shape your worldview?

 @9LGPRT4 from California  answered…2yrs2Y

I feel that learning exclusively American History can strengthen one's sense of patriotism so I think it's important to cover America's failures and wrongdoings, to prove that no Country is perfect and it's not bad to love the US but that history may have shaped other countries to have a negative opinion on us.

 @9LGPQSY from North Carolina  answered…2yrs2Y

I have traveled all over the world so it would stay the same

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would the dynamics at your school change if all educational materials were produced domestically?

 @9JH2FLSanswered…2yrs2Y

enhances the self-sufficiency and political autonomy of the country, and is a crucial aspect in building military power.

 @9JH24B2Women’s Equality from Massachusetts  answered…2yrs2Y

Economic nationalism tends to emphasize industrialization (and often aids industries with state support), due to beliefs that industry has positive spillover effects on the rest of the economy, enhances the self-sufficiency and political autonomy of the country, and is a crucial aspect in building military power.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would an emphasis on domestic tourism over international travel change the way you plan your vacations?

 @9J267YN from Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

I only travel to see places of the world I haven't seen, and cultures I wanna visit. However, there are a lot of places in America to see.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

Could embracing traditions solely from your own culture enhance your sense of national identity or limit your world view?

 @9JH3M42Independent from California  answered…2yrs2Y

It would limit your world view. It's important to embrace and incorporate other cultures into your lives. It would be like eating pizza every single day as opposed to one day eating tacos, another day eating burgers, etc.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3yrs3Y

Can a country truly be self-sufficient in today's global economy, and is that a goal worth pursuing at any cost?

 @9H785TX from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

No, not worth pursuing, and form of nationalism is bad

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your diet and food preferences be affected if supermarkets only sold products from within your country’s borders?

It would be affected little because my diet consisted of common local agricultural products like meats and grains.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

How would your community's cultural festivals and public events change if they could only feature locally sourced materials?

 @9KFNLPJ from Utah  answered…2yrs2Y

It would be a lot harder as there are many cultures and ethnicities in my community. We cannot celebrate chinese new year without imported goods from china. Those goods are part of the culture and history of the tradition. Same thing goes for cinco de mayo and other holidays similar to these.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…2yrs2Y

What homegrown innovation or invention from your country are you most proud of, and why does it resonate with you?

Imagine your favorite smartphone app suddenly became inaccessible due to trade policies; how would you adapt to this change?

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
