The right socio-politico-economic model is UBI/freedom dividends with encouraged capital productivity. Politically, it is impossible because power concentration rather than power redistribution is ensured. Protectionism masquerades as pro labour policy, but its simply initiation of a death spiral. Expensive uncompetitive inputs/jobs means expensive products that can't compete on export markets, and while a select few protected winners are made from protections, it is at cost of entire population. A Michigan auto worker is harmed when protecting Pensylvania steel company/workers, and a California car consumer is harmed by both protections.
OP focuses on Agriculture and drone access. This is one of the few US export sectors and a solidly uniform GOP political base. That rest of world has access to better equipment means that they can accept lower prices without going bankrupt/still being profitable.
