Just saw on the news last night that tens of thousands of Frenchmen are out protesting inflation and threatening to strike. I don't think we can blame the present United States administration for that.

We can blame the GLOBALISTS, of which Biden and company are a part of that club.

Trump was not part of that club, and they wanted him OUT by any means necessary.
Trump knew that "going green" was going to be a disaster, and he's been proven right.

I have relatives in Germany, France and UK. Things are really bad there as well, and putin’s megalomania is one of the reasons.

I'm not sure it's possible in today's world NOT to be a globalist. We don't produce enough anymore to be self-sufficient, and in fact, just one example proves that: computers and electric cars. The raw materials for the batteries for these cannot be found in the US. So we should learn how to do without those things? I think not. That cat is long out of the bag.

Another example which touches many parts of the world - food. Look at what's happening in Ukraine, who supplies much of the world with grain, and without which supply is causing starvation in parts of the world. Should we just tell these people to go grow their own? Many of them live in piles of sand that won't grow anything.

This is the reality of today's world, and Democrats are not denying any of it. They are trying to work with it.

Salary less and taxpayers on the hook to support all the millions of illegal aliens and downstream costs involved.

Global trade is a part of the globalistic idea of co-existence between countries.
