Is "Globalist" the new code word for a Jew?

Bannon et al have been throwing darts at Mnuchin and Cohn as "globalists."

And many thought that these two would step down after Trump hatred speech but they, and the generals, think, hope, that they can steer the administration at an adult way.

We lived in Iowa in the 80s during the farm crisis. And the bad guys were the "East Coast Bankers" which, then, was a code word for Jews. Interestingly, most of these farmers have never seen a Jew in their lives..

While it is a term which has been around for a long time, when it comes to anti-Semitism, many Jew-haters learn to adapt and use terms which summon their Hell Hounds all the while sounding "polite" or "nondescript". Even calling enemies "New Yorkers" was once a code among the far-right to talk about Jews. "Family Guy" makes fun on it in an episode. It also gives "plausible deniability" to anyone using the word that they weren't really talking about Jews. When it comes to this word, globalists they will have the assist from those on the left (especially the far-left) who take issue with the word as a dog-whistle, thereby emboldening the haters of the right.

Though I think it refers to anyone who isn't a nativist/nationalist
Jews would likely be one of the targets since we've heard for over a century about the global Jewish conspiracy
