It's not patriotic to prop up some incompetent American company when some paid-off politician is deciding what you are allowed to buy and what you're not allowed to buy.

They encourage you to buy U.S. products because the tariff makes imports more expensive. This is to help domestic industries from international competition. It is a form of protectionism.
