Donald Trump would just love a chance to cast himself as fighting a one-man war against globalists trying to crack open american markets and force us to ship jobs overseas, especially if they timed it around Q3 2020
It would play so much to his favor if he could tell the WTO to suck his balls
I'm not sure its a coincidence that media outlets suddenly started running with a narrative of "'Globalist' is an anti-semitic slur", some clever political strategist might have realized how vulnerable the democrats are on the issue when the unions risk defecting to Trump and are already working to subvert the discourse. On the other hand, I don't credit them with an abundance of cleverness or else we wouldn't be in this situation
I'm not really understanding this line. I found a huffpo article with the claim that it is 'coded' language for 'Jew' but in that very article they say -

“For the far right, globalism has long had distinct xenophobic, anti-immigrant, and anti-Semitic overtones,” the article states. “It refers to a conspiratorial worldview: a cabal that likes open borders, diversity and weak nation states, and that dislikes white people, Christianity and the traditional culture of their own country.”
Nowhere does that definition say 'Jew' to me. I mean it may be that some far-right conspiracy nutters talk about a Jewish globalist conspiracy but 'globalist' itself doesn't imply 'Jewish'. Seems like people reading too much into shit imo. But idk tbh man. The western world has gone pretty bonkers over the last five years or so. To borrow a Trumpism, 'on both sides'.
