First you say they want jobs, now you say they want 'protectionism.' I think you are very confused, arguing from this vague stereotype. More importantly, UBI doesn't prevent people who want jobs from getting jobs, so that seems a completely irrelevant thing to bring up anyway.

In the US, two popular anti-establishment candidates campaigned against free trade. Protectionism is popular. It's not a stereotype. I get that UBI doesn't prevent people from getting jobs. I support it. It's just not a solution for people who's jobs have been automated away because lots of people were never looking for the freedom to accept a job that pays less the way UBI allows. It's like shortening Everest to improve mountain climbers' quality of life.
