This trade war is not just a disagreement over trade policy. It's a war of independence, and the US has decided that we should not be independent anymore. We've already ceded so much of our independence to the US over the last 40 years via heavy-handed economic treaties with purpose-built backdoors, they've decided we shouldn't have any kind of sovereignty at all.
War is hell. War requires sacrifices. War is destructive. We've not actually signaled as a population that we are OK with the damage this war is going to do to us, and it's not at all clear to us what is necessary to survive this attack intact, and what is just basic shock-doctrine exploitation.
