Those here among the majority in both parties long have assumed that globalization was, somehow, as American as apple pie.
Certainly, they reasoned (not really reasoned), if anybody can believe, or at least deeply pretend to believe, in this super national supranational ideal, we could. That, unfortunately, for many different specific reasons, is emphatically not true.
(Parenthetically, we don't, and never have, deeply believed in a more fully United States, a more fully unified integral state. It has always, structurally, been, and been intended to be, a loose confederation, with a meta government overlain.)
The deep problem for them, in both parties, going forward, is that there is, and more importantly, cannot be, politically, a good Plan B, assuming globalization fails at this stage of human history.
Another problem, now, is that weaknesses in this globalist system are coming out all over, all at once.
