The opposite of globalism is localism. Trump is now working with Big Tech and foreign adversaries to crush conservative rural America with data centers. Trump wants to use DOJ resources to sue states protecting landowners. This is the most devastating form of globalism. Even crazier is the fact that Democrats are now outflanking him and harnessing a populist message on behalf of landowners and the average Joe by tying Trump corruption to his Big Tech policies driving up costs. They are even starting to outflank him on foreign worker visas. The well-fed Right knows he is a problem but is too cowardly to effectively fight him. Meanwhile, rightists are starting the cycle all over again by drowning out debate and a potential primary in order to promote JD Vance, who has the same problematic policies on Big Tech.  We close by focusing on foreign policy and how Trump’s obsession with Qatar and Gaza is also more about family business ties than ideology — quintessential globalism if we’ve ever seen it.
