I think you are right. Here in Germany the Afd is also on the rise, who has a strong stand against refugees and the EU.
What is the common denominator? Obviously it is about globalism and culture, but maybe it has more to it?
I think none is really looking at the big picture. What are our values and how do democracies work? Do we in the west have the better system or where we just lucky? Currently the west is in a crisis. Everyone notices, that we loose on economic terms while China is winning. And groups from outside the west get more and more influence (most prominently Islam).
So how can we turn this around? One answer might be Trump, but there will probably be better solutions if we think about these issues.
