People want cheap products in a general sense, they don’t like off shoring, it was hugely disruptive to jobs and the quality nose dives (at least for a time, sometimes permanently). They didn’t ask for or choose it, they’re the low information side of the system

Of course they’re upset at things being tariffed, they don’t want prices going up. They likely have some preference to buy things made locally, or by a country with a reputation

None of this is a choice made by consumers, it’s a generalized set of incentives and pressures created by the market

It’s like planned obsolescence… People hate it, it’s being sold to them
