Globalism has displaced and estranged millions of Americans from the labor force, and has lowered the standard of living of millions more. The weight of globalism's impact on working class Americans has never been seen as clearly as in the 2016 election, wherein 40%+ of the electorate sees past the obvious flaws of a human pumpkin in large part due to the candidate's flat rejection of globalism and a promise to "bring back jobs."
It is clear that globalism, as an economic initiative, cannot continue at its present rate without prompting further outrage from the working class. Brexit is another clear signal that the world has reached a tipping point after 20+ years of ruthless expansion into internationalized trade.
At the same time, there can be no doubt that economic globalism is an inevitability. However, if the dominant school of thought (that anything but globalism is "anti-intellectualism") continues to prevail, there is no doubt that more Brexits will happen. More Trumps will emerge. And the "people's revolutions" that defined the world only 2 centuries ago may once again emerge.
Globalism needs to be able to offer real solutions to all people, not just the intellectuals and the capable. It is not rude to say that a wide portion of Americans are inept, and simply do the best they can for their families. Tradesmen, writers, etc. People lacking in skills and intellect that would make them marketable on the global scene.
Rather than don these people with monikers such as "white trash," policy makers must fit them into the global agenda. Because no matter how fast globalism proceeds, the dumbest and poorest still breed the fastest.

If globalism could be reformed it would be reformed.
