Exactly. At the end of the day, all tariffs do is raise the cost of goods for the consumer.
Unless it puts American labor on equal footing! Yes there will be cost increases, but quality will “likely” improve and some of your neighbors may have a job to go to!

I recall a study done a few years back on ways we could ‘spend’ our way out of the recession. There were several instances where really small increases going straight back to a producer could have a HUGE trickle down effect. One item really jumped out at me, adding $0.05 to every loaf of bread, this going straight back to the farmer would DOUBLE his income. FIVE cents.
The vast majority of people said no.
People are all for ‘good jobs’ and ‘good wages’ until they have to pay for them..
How many small town retailers went out of business, and stopped selling domestic products, when a Wally-world came to town?
How many of the WM’s do you think closed because nobody shops there? Try to find something produced on this side of an ocean in a WM other than perishables.
Big talk rarely results in big results........
