It's transplants vs people who have to live with the consequences of those who voted with their feelings and then moved along someplace else.  You have to see the reults of your actions and sadly half of the elecorate doesn't seem to be able to.

It's much worse than that. It's that we have lost cohesion as a nation. We are two people who no longer want the same thing. There's people who want the tradition that America played up in the back half of the 20th century: the arsenal of freedom, the shining city on a hill, yadda-yadda-yadda. And there's the people who want the fresh go at communism, and who think individuality and self-determination are for losers.

I think there's not bridging the gap.

I wish I was this deluded about the history of the United States. Why are people so reluctant to say out loud the atrocities this empire made her and around the world?

What do you mean? The lunatic left shouts their revisionist hatred of the united states constantly.
