The first step in a fascist movement is the combination under an energetic leader of a number of men who possess more than the average share of leisure, brutality, and stupidity. The next step is to fascinate fools and muzzle the intelligent, by emotional excitement on the one hand and terrorism on the other. Bertrand Russell A Fresh Look at Empiricism: 1927-42 (ed. Psychology Press, 1996) - ISBN: 9780415094085

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Americans are widely skeptical about the benefits of the recent tariffs the Trump administration has imposed on the United States’ trading partners, with majorities believing they will ultimately cost the U.S. more money than they generate — in the short term (70%) as well as the long run (62%). Most U.S. adults, 89%, think the tariffs are likely to result in higher prices on the products they buy, while the public is evenly divided over the likelihood that the tariffs will bring more manufacturing jobs to the U.S. Americans have little appetite for long-term disruption to the U.S. economy before they see any economic benefits from the higher tariffs.
