>> Financial interests convinced liberals and conservatives alike that globalism was a good thing (for altruistic or selfish reasons respectively). Instead it just gave Capital access to cheap labor and totally fucked the American worker.
This doesn't make sense to me. That one bad aspect of it does not negate all of the good that has also come from it. I would argue that the people affected by this (a lot of the people Trump appealed to - for example coal workers) weren't let down by globalization but by their government. They should have been retrained, for free, by the government. Instead, they were forgotten about.
