I can't confirm it, but the current situation of progressive or "far-left" pushing toxic policies which then pushes people to the alt-right feels like a good cop-bad cop dynamic at play. Even with trade, it's China that's primarily exploiting USA, but now Trump is looking for a "deal" with China to "peacefully coexist" while putting tariffs on close allies? Both of these agitative forces are opposed to Liberal Enlightment principles, to the legacy of the West, and have sympathies to Russia and China, and their policies in turn act to continously corrode the center moderates who genuinely believe in America.
