Oddly, to me, all of this blather comes in the context of the US basically telling Europe to fuck off. Which seems… inconsistent with an emphasis on “preserving our Western identity”.
Miller and Trump are trying to build Fortress America, which will include big doses of misogyny, racism, and unrestricted Gilded Age capitalism. They think Europe ought to be building Fortress Europe along the same lines, without an American military presence. (Yes, the transition looks a lot like "f*ck off".) "Preserving our Western identity" means we were on the same side during the Cold War. Seriously, they're not thinking any farther back in history than that.
