Somewhat oversimplifying, you can think of hierarchical individualists as akin to conservative Republicans, and egalitarian communitarians as liberal Democrats.

Somewhat? That's like saying that black is a dark colour like navy blue and white is more like royal blue.

Personally, I think the US would benefit by understanding just where in the overall spectrum they fit politically and how limited their "typical" options are.

Americans probably have the most limited options of any modern democracy on the planet, and yet most people think they are so different.
