As the world shifts leftward and increasingly embraces globalism, a handful of leaders remain as holdouts—conservative, anti-globalist figures who advocate for national sovereignty, economic protectionism, and opposition to globalist institutions such as the United Nations, the European Union, or multinational trade agreements. They frequently push for secure borders and immigration controls within their own countries, resisting globalist trends.
One unifying factor among these leaders is their vilification in mainstream media and liberal social media where they are frequently compared to Hitler. Several have been indicted and several have survived assassination attempts.
1. Donald Trump (United States, former president) became the global benchmark for conservative leadership through his “America First” policies, which emphasized securing borders, opposing international trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and withdrawing the U.S. from global commitments such as the Paris Agreement. His skepticism of NATO and focus on prioritizing national interests have reinforced his anti-globalist stance, influencing other leaders. Trump has faced four assassination attempts and has been indicted multiple times, further solidifying his polarizing role on the world stage.
2. Viktor Orbán (Hungary) is a prominent figure in European anti-globalist and nationalist politics, known for his strong opposition to European Union immigration policies and rejection of liberal, progressive agendas. As Hungary’s prime minister, he promotes a “Hungary first” approach, defending Hungarian culture and sovereignty from what he sees as undue influence from Brussels. Orbán has enacted strict anti-immigration policies, including building border fences to block migrants, framing this as a defense of Hungarian and European Christian values. His opposition to the LGBTQ+ agenda and support for traditional family values have further distanced him from EU leadership and drawn criticism from Western liberal media.
3. Jair Bolsonaro (Brazil, former president) firmly opposed globalist agendas, especially regarding climate agreements like the Paris Accord, while promoting economic protectionism and national sovereignty. In 2018, during his presidential campaign, Bolsonaro survived an assassination attempt in which he was stabbed in the abdomen while campaigning in Juiz de Fora, Brazil. The attack severely injured him, requiring multiple surgeries. Bolsonaro has since faced multiple indictments, and has been barred from running for office. Under Brazil’s current socialist leadership, the government banned Twitter after Elon Musk refused to censor content. […]
