Now you are sounding like Jedi. <g>

It's not wrong to think that choices have consequences, and that the people making those choices should feel the consequences (good or ill).

I would be genuinely shocked if this administration will produce anything beneficial to "the little guy". "The little guy" makes up most of the population (MAGA and non-MAGA). Inflation is going to impact us all, and "the little guy" will be less able to afford it. Producers that rely on migrant labor (legal or illegal) are very likely to feel some pain. I fully expect to feel pain that is not of my own making, but I'm hoping that MAGA will feel it worse, so they can -maybe- realize that their choice(s) injured them.

They may not care about migrant families (other than not wanting them here), but they will care when their produce doubles in price, there are shortages because no one is there to pick it, companies exploit them because there is no one to enforce (or even impose) protection regulations (e.g. credit card rates, worker safety, food inspection and safety, and a lot of other stuff we never have to think about), and the like.

Insofar as feeling the consequences of decisions, I hope they feel it. I'm expecting it to be a very negative experience for them, since most of them are not part of the Billionaire Boys Club that is packing the administration.

Sad to say, they likely won't feel (directly) the effects of poor foreign policy (like keeping Russia tied-up in Ukraine, or opposing China in the SCS, or maintaining a strong NATO alliance). Those, arguably, will have much more profound long-term consequences that we may not feel for a decade or more.
