The political center in Europe is somewhat to the left of the US on a number of issues.
I’m pretty sure that a number of people on the left in Europe are worried about the US because they’re concerned that its social or cultural influence might move Europe to the right.
I’m also pretty sure that a number of people on the right in the US feel the same way about Europe, just in the other direction.
That is, the right in Europe and the left in the US are more-likely to be comfortable with each other.
We’re to the left of the US but if you look around Europe, our parliaments and governments are full with right wing extremists. The so-called centrists are politically and rhetorically where today’s Nazis were 10-15 years ago (at least that’s how the Nazis presented themselves to the public while they still had to).
Otherwise I do think your explanation makes sense.
