 What do we think about Tariffs?

Okay, serious question here.  (And by "serious question", I mean I'm not trying to be snarky or sarcastic about this, I'm genuinely confused and hope someone can clarify it for me.)

Since Trump has become big on tariffs recently, I've seen I don't know how many liberals on Youtube and Twitter, etc, make fun of how MAGA people don't understand what a tariff is:

Tariffs Explained to MAGA by a Professional Importer/Exporter

...all of a sudden it seems like being pro-tariff is conservative, and being anti-tariff is liberal.

But, what confuses me, is that I remember in the 1990s, being pro-free trade was conversative, and being anti-free trade was progressive.

Progressives were supposed to be in favor of fair trade.  And what was fair trade?  I thought fair trade would have involved using tariffs.

So what happened?  Is this just a matter of liberals just dunking on whatever Trump supporters like?  Or was there a political realignment that happened?  Or maybe I'm seeing a split between the Clinton liberals and the true progressives, and the Clinton liberals are the ones making fun of the tariffs?  Or is there something unique about the Trump tariffs? Or, are we liberals just making fun of the fact that MAGA people don't understand who pays tariffs, and we're not actually opposed to the tariffs themselves?  Or are progressives supposed to be anti-tariff now?

Arthur Godfrey and The Julius La Rosa Firing--Interesting Random Facts:

I'm currently reading The Complete Chester Gould’s Dick Tracy Volume 13: 1950-1951 and there are numerous references to someone named Arthur Godfrey.

After ignoring the first few references, I got curious enough that I googled Arthur Godfrey.

According to Wikipedia: 

Arthur Morton Godfrey (August 31, 1903 – March 16, 1983) was an American radio and television broadcaster and entertainer. At the peak of his success, in the early to mid-1950s, Godfrey was heard on radio and seen on television up to six days a week, at times for as many as nine separate broadcasts for CBS. 

Well, if he was at the peak of his popularity in the 1950s, that would explain why there were so many references to him in the 1950-1951 Dick Tracy comics.  

A little bit further down that same entry, there's a further little bit of interesting information:

The infamous on-air firing of cast member Julius La Rosa in 1953 tainted Godfrey's down-to-earth, family-man image and resulted in a marked decline in his popularity which he was never able to overcome.^[4] 

Oh wow!  An on-air firing?  That does sound dramatic.  I wonder if there's a clip of that online somewhere.

The Wikipedia entry on Arthur Godfrey has a whole expanded section on the La Rosa Incident, which you can read if you want all the details.  But the short version is that the incident isn't nearly as dramatic as I was expecting.  There's no footage of Godfrey snapping and firing La Rosa in a rage.  Instead, it was all a lot more subtle.

On October 19, 1953, near the end of his morning radio show – deliberately waiting until after the television portion had ended – after lavishing praise on La Rosa in introducing the singer's performance of "Manhattan", Godfrey thanked him and then announced that this was La Rosa's "swan song" with the show, adding, "He goes now, out on his own – as his own star – soon to be seen on his own programs, and I know you'll wish him godspeed as much as I do". Godfrey then signed off for the day, saying, "This is the CBS Radio Network". La Rosa, who did not know what the phrase "swan song" meant, was incredulous when told he had just been fired, since he had not been informed beforehand of his termination, and contract renegotiations had not yet taken place. 

Nevertheless, despite the actual firing being very civil, further reading of the entry does make clear that the fallout from this was a pretty big deal for Godfrey.

Well, there you go, huh?  Learn something new every day.

Oh wow! Many thanks for saying hi. I'm glad the review met with your approval.

— Joel Swagman (@JoelswagmanJoel) January 20, 2025

The review he's talking about is here.  

(By the way, I'm glad he liked that review, because after filming it, I watched it myself and I thought, "This is horrible.  My voice is not clear, I'm wandering all over the place, and why am I smacking my lips so much?"--I certainly didn't notice that I was smacking my lips when I was filming, but it seems to have come through very noticeably on the recording. Anyway...)

Of course, when you post something publicly on the web, it makes it very easy for the author to find it.  And some people (Steve Donoghue, for example) are of the opinion that authors obsessively track down and read all their reviews, from biggest to smallest.

And yet, I tend to forget about this when I write or film a review.  I'm so used to catering to a small audience, I forget that authors can easily find my review.  And so consequently when I review something, I have no expectation that the author will actually find it.  

In this case, I had a lot of complimentary things to say about the book in my review.  (Which is no doubt why the author was pleased.)  But, you'll have to trust me on this, when I filmed the review, I was not at all thinking that the author would find it.  I was nonetheless pleased that he was happy with it.

If memory serves, there are two other times in this blog's history when an author took the trouble to thank me for a review: here and here.  Since I tend to regard author's as much superior than myself, I'm always elated when they actually reach out and make contact with me.
