Globalism is a race to the bottom for the vast majority of the population in the modern world.

Free trade can be good, but there has to be a balance. What we have now is a system that solely benefits the wealthy. They can send most of the jobs overseas, while still having the global market open for exports.

Yes, they are finally waking up on both the left and the right.
Protectionist policies are right around the corner.
