> Please don't conflate what the left has done (actual economic plans and policies that resulted in economic growth) with what the right has done (pointlessly destroyed relations with multiple countries because they didn't get their way in 2020). Have I? The idea of deglobalization has been a rallying cry of both the left and the right. If you don't believe me, review someone like Bernie Sanders' beliefs (e.g. https://slate.com/business/2016/06/bernie-sanders-take-on-globalization-is-simple-ideologically-comforting-and-factually-wrong.html https://slate.com/business/2016/06/bernie-sanders-take-on-gl...) What I further said is that even if deglobalization is a great idea (it isn't) then the execution we're seeing now by the right is very poor. We do not know how the left would have executed because the deglobalists in the Democratic Party do not have sufficient power. Some quotes[1] just for fun: Bernie Sanders: “increasingly globalized economy, established and maintained by the world’s economic elite, is failing people everywhere.” JD Vance: “the effects of globalization have hollowed out America’s industrial core.” Trump: “Globalization has made the financial elites who donate to politicians very wealthy, but it’s left millions and millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache—and our towns and cities with empty factories and plants.” And if you think these 3 represent fringes on the left and the right, you will be wrong. During the Biden admin, US Trade Representative Katherine Tai assert that governments’ urge “to liberalize as much as possible” has led to a “race to the bottom.” [1] https://www.cato.org/free-society/summer-2024/globalization-about-people-not-governments https://www.cato.org/free-society/summer-2024/globalization-...
