IMHO, in America political faction identity trumped national identity already.
Small example. I was browsing news site recently, dailywire IIRC, and saw an ad for some merch they are selling, like coffee cup or something, with "Liberal tears" slogan on it.
I mean, can you imagine that in Germany, some political party will be selling "CSU voters tears" merch? I think people would be outraged, and not just CSU voters, but across the spectrum.
In a sense, the lack of national identity and total prevalence of political faction identity is what stops americans from having a sober talk between parties.
It's interesting to watch, but kinda sad.
