Yes, your average American believes that prices are 100% demand-driven and that importers will fully bear the price of tariffs.

Cost increases are passed on (not necessarily instantly, there's a lot of lag in economics) but inevitably. If it costs the importer 10% more, they charge the distributor more, and they charge the store more, and the store charges the customer more. (I know you know this, but some people don't.)
