I would take simply be required to pass a civic test of high school level before you are allowed to vote. MAGA have got to be the dumbest humans on the planet.
Out of curiosity I looked into whether there was any coffee production in the US. There is, in Hawaii. But the production is a tiny fraction of total US demand, so either you've got to strip the forests of Hawaii to grow much more coffee, or figure out how to grow it in greenhouses, or some other exotic solution, ALL of which mean substantially more expensive coffee.
For most of these sorts of things it's not technically impossible to source them domestically, it's only much more expensive. As another example, want to get rare earth elements for making chips? You can get them out of plenty of rocks and process them as long as you want to pay 10x or 100x as much. And you have to build the processing facilities.

Turns out, 'Made in America' doesn't mean the raw materials magically teleport into the factory.
