Globalization and free trade was about nations, world wide, coming together in a diplomatic tenor. Then extremists preached hate to adults who are children. Hate (and similar emotions) is how extremists get elected or steal power. They simply appeal to many who, for example, have no idea what a "New World Order" really meant. This inspired Ruby Ridge, the Michigan Militia, and Timothy McVeigh. The emotional were inspired by soundbytes to hate that President George Sr (a Republican) concept. For the same reason so many in the deep south were so racist. Diplomacy is irrelevant to the emotional.
That is now happening in many places worldwide. It requires "we are good; they are evil" thinking. Brexit is a perfect example. Bogeymen are created to inspire the emotional. Even creating contempt for free trade.
