Aside from population centers, most of America was just tired of being transitioned toward European values. For the bulk of the US existence, most of the immigrants were Europeans looking to escape Europe.

I'm not trying to make any "bold statement" here, just pointing out the obvious. Americans should not be forced to assimilate to small factions, this is the "melting pot", as they told us in school. Rather, the factions should easily find their way to assimilate into the American mainstream.

I don’t think it’s away from progressivism. I think it’s a move away from globalism. “Trumpism” is based in populism, same as the “Berniecrats”. Probably why there is more of an overlap in those supporters than between Democrats and Republicans.
