It's my sense that globalism kicked off this trend of anti-globalism.

If it benefitted more people, or more accurately if it benefitted people in a more equitable way instead of concentrating the gains in the hand of the wealthy and powerful, globally, then maybe there would be less of a pullback.

I'm not arguing for or against globalism, it has many benefits and drawbacks, but the undercurrent of opposition has existed long before Trump of Brexit, as seen for example in the various GX (G8, G20, etc) protests that took place around the world in the 2000's and 2010's, preceding the Trumpers and Brexit.

I agree the sentiment has picked up in recent years, accelerated since Covid, and that politicians are doing what politicians do, trying to get elected.
