This right here is precisely part of the issue. EVERYBODY knows what traditional western cultural values are yet so many people pretend not to have a clue.

I don't identify myself as a Christian but it takes no genius to realize left-wing parties champion Islam exclusively as a way to oppose Christianity (and the bag of right-wing policies that come with it). That is just an example. Nobody who isn't a muslim would endorse the muslim culture in a vacuum.

Anybody who is not under a rock and is somehow honest with himself will clearly notice that American cultural products have switched from embracing American culture to rejecting it quite overtly. Old movies featured aspirational characters that were intended to represent the prime of Americanism. Daniel Boone's TV show was all about exploration and heroism, but also about fending off totalitarian overreach, keeping good relationships with peaceful neighbors and fighting off hostile ones. Now we have movies like Black Panther in which the heroes openly shame whiteness.

Most noticeably, American cultural products have lost their identity because they removed their stars and stripes, their apple pie, guns, bourbon and failed to fill the void with anything meaningful. There is a reason why the movie industry is touching new lows as of late: Hollywood is producing empty products. When you watch a Bollywood piece it is easy to notice they are proud of their identity or at least they are not ashamed of it, so even bad pieces have the redeeming characteristic of having some substance.
