"In 1999, in what was called the Battle of Seattle, leftists were anti-globalists, smashing up Starbucks, complaining about the World Trade Organization. Now that the Trump administration is bucking globalism, the anti-globalists have remade themselves as pro-globalists. Labor unions like the AFL-CIO advocated against trade liberalization, now they are in favor of that as Trump focuses on local, America first, sustainable economic solutions. This coalition of Democrats, labor and leftists now favor open borders policies that create low-wage second-class workers and subsidize corporate profits."
