Well, Nazi Germany was an example of the globalists (the French and British Empires) attacking Germany due to fear of the rise of a global competitor. The French and British economies were moribund at that point, based more on steam power than more modern combustion engines. The spread of railroads had petered out as a major economic driver. Yet, Germany was growing as an economic competitor, so the great powers of the time unfairly maligned Germany for WWI and forced reparations on them for a war they didn't start.
So it is not unseemly that someone would come along and fight back against them and gain power.
This is being seen all over the globe, because the globalists are trying to make the entire world like New York City. It is backfiring almost everywhere. For example, Brazil's leading presidential candidate is a Trump-like character. The AfD in Germany is gaining steam. Eastern European states are refusing the immigration mess that the West finds itself in. We do not see the kinds of social problems in Poland, Czech, Hungary, etc. that we see in Germany, France, the UK and Italy among others. This is happening when the economy is NOT on its knees. If the rate increases continue and we enter an economic crunch, the electorates will be inclined to support even more hardline candidates.

This suggests that people voted for Hitler because they were stupid. On the contrary, all the evidence pointed to foreign powers fucking over the German people. Who was in Germany helping that process along? A lot of Jewish pols and pundits. Who was behind the Kavanaugh circus? Schumer, Feinstein, Blumenthal, Katz, Swetnick, etc. Who was behind the Russia-gate conspiracy? Schumer, Rosenstein, Strzok, Page, etc. I for one think that what Hitler did to the Jews was terrible. However, they voted as a bloc somewhat like the way black Americans do. That does not make what Hitler did right, but it does make it understandable. People aiming for a global government need to get real about basic local problems--like they can barely control South Chicago. Trying to force a huge ethnic influx of people who do not support the basic social tenets of your society is likely to lead to a lot of problems. They know this, but they do it anyway.

Trump is liked because he fights against the globalists in his rhetoric. Tucker Carlson has looked at this from a larger perspective and sees a political re-alignment where the Democrats support the very rich and the very poor, and the Republicans support the working, middle and petit upper class. This makes the Democrats look much like the communist party and the Republicans look like a fascist party.
That's why I found the Democrats attacks on Kavanaugh as a privileged rich white male who lifts weights, plays football and drinks beer such a hilarious attack. Is it any wonder why Trump won Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and even Wisconsin? I'm sitting here in liberal California and laughing.
