The argument that America even has a singular culture to preserve is, I think, a false premise. America is multi-cultural. There are American _ideals_ which can be preserved ("life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"), but the country is too big and too varied for anyone to claim that there is a specific American culture, or that there has been since its founding.
America is Indian, Mexican, and Muslim. Not "them", but "us". Maybe some Trump supporters disagree?

American folklore, Blues music, American cuisine, American politics and all its silly quirks. The idea of no American culture is laughable.
