If you're talking about a cultural drift then I tend to agree and I'm not particularly opposed to it but I see globalism (which is what we're really talking about here) as an essentially economic credo that has clearly inspired a backlash. Large swathes of people in countries at the forefront of globalism (who you'd therefore expect to be most on board) are rejecting those institutions (political, media, corporate) that they feel most embody it and finding alternatives. Maybe it'll all end up just a brief and ultimately impotent spasm of discontent but I can only see it growing now.
