  > pursuing a globalization agenda What does this actually mean? Is there anyone in politics who doesn't have an "agenda" in some sense - what would that even look like, a promise to be purely reactive without having any long term policy?

    Thats good point. I'm guessing from the examples I've seen. People don't want global bureaucracy like the EU. They don't want other nations or other people put before their own country and national interests. They also don't want foreign meddling in their own countries, whether its through lobbying groups, foreign money or just foreign funded media. If I had to guess, people are feeling a loss of control of their local geographical areas and lives within it, and reacting any way they can to reassert power/control. In america, you can see it from Trump, and Bernie, to things like the Texas and California Exit.

      Some people don't want that. It's not like Brexit or Trump aren't controversial. Other people realize they are part of an increasingly interrelated world. Kind of hard not to be with modern technology. We can easily communicate with anyone, travel anywhere, and stuff is made all over the place.

  A globalization agenda has existed since nations have been trading, signing treaties, and going to war with one another. We live on the same planet and technology makes us even closer together. The only isolated communities left live deep in the rainforest.
