What's the difference between us, the US, and Europe? Is it the selection of immigrant peoples? Is it the more recent immigrants (glad to have escaped the old country) vs later generations of immigrants tending toward extremism (romantic past)?

Are they voting in group for their group (ala Keith Ellison) and even though they personally want freedom, are voting for policies which bring the old country with them?
