>In the US, maybe. The Eu enjoys broad support on the 'metropolitan' centre-left across Europe - only being opposed really by the extreme left and the centre to far right.
Same in the US I think. I wasn't talking about democrats (the US "centre-left", but about the actual left.
>Also, maybe the US should be careful what it wishes for. The UN, for instance, was set up post WWII to project US / Wilsonian values around the world. While trade deals / supranational agreements are inconvenient sometimes, the US may end up missing them when they're gone and the US has to deal with a truly multipolar world again
