The term "globalist" has been used as a pejorative in
right-wing and
far-right politics and
conspiracy theories. For example, during the election and presidency of United States president
Donald Trump, he and members of his administration used the term
globalist on multiple occasions. The administration was accused of using the term as an antisemitic
"dog whistle", to associate their critics with a
Jewish conspiracy.
[27][28][29][30][31][32] Followers of the
QAnon conspiracy theory use "The
Cabal" to refer to a secret worldwide elite organisation who wish to undermine democracy and freedom, and implement their own globalist agendas.
[33] Hungarian Prime Minister
Viktor Orbán has used antisemitic tropes in accusations against "globalists", espousing a conspiracy theory of a world network controlled by Hungarian-American philanthropist
George Soros.
