Yes, it sucks that parts of the manufacturing economy are shrinking, but we're between a rock and a hard place. Our only hope is to create new jobs, which actually seems to be working pretty well. I would also support efforts to get creative to make up the inequality gap, such as universal healthcare, potentially a wealth tax or basic income. I don't think many people are actually saying "there are literally no negative effects" of globalization, just that the alternative is clearly worse. It also doesn't help that the anti-globalization rhetoric (like every modern republican platform) is now often mixed in with a lot of anti-intellectualism and xenophobia, and that makes it hard to pick out any good points there might be in the argument.
