- shermantanktop 2y agoSetting specific parties and people aside, that’s not what “the base” means. The base is the diehard supporters. Many an election has been won by taking a minority base and adding in people who are not supporters but chose that candidate for whatever specific reason, e.g. “the price of gas.”

- dspillett 2y agoMuch as it might be pandering to Trump's nationalist (America first / American only) policies, or simply an action to avoid some of the effects of tariffs that might be imposed, this time around, I see no such connection for the 2021 announcement. Unless they are connected as they are a more generic "pleasing the incoming administration" to try curry favour for when decisions that might affect the company are being made.
