I suspect that this is owed to the fact that the US is an empire, albeit not an explicit one where it's clear who is a province and who isn't.
I believe that people realize that American politics is much more important to their future than local politics, and that their countries will follow whatever way the US go, with some delay but little choice. The US political conflicts form the US, and that then forms it for everyone in the provinces.
