The US used to be a much more homogeneous country, which certainly makes it a lot easier for everyone to be on the same page because of shared cultural values.

That has changed dramatically in the past few decades and with it, places where Americans can find common ground.

Other western countries are going down the exact same path, just a bit behind us.

No, homogeneity doesn't cause happiness.[1] And the US was always less homogenous than other "western" countries.
