Does the USA have a common national identity to rally around anymore; what do a Floridian, a California, and Minnesotan have in common in the 2020's? America has always been a melting pot of different cultures. You can tell a story about how the "american dream" united Americans in the past but you can also argue that dream has been degraded over the years. Even things such as the constitution and bill of rights are being disputed in various ways.

Your hypothetical statesmen are rallying around how much they hate the other political party, and what they are trying to use the federal gov't to accomplish. That Floridian basically has everything in common with that Californian, as long as they are on the same side of the political divide (give or take one or two "contarian" positions within the tent).
