USA has a large non-white population (40% of the overall population and 30% of the overall electorate) over 70% of non-whites tend to vote democrat or green party.
Then the 60% white American white population is incredibly affluent https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income and well educated. Perhaps the most affluent and well educated in the world.
A highly educated white population and a large non-white population does not boil well with populism. I think that's why republicans generally did poorly in 2018, 2020, 2021 GA senate, 2022, 2022 GA senate run off while right wing populism flourished in every European nation besides in UK (which was controlled by conservatives for 15 years ) and France (which had multiple snap elections to elect left wing parties) and Turkey.
The general demographic makeup of the USA makes it difficult for anti-immigrant parties to win large scale elections. Europe has a much larger working-class base to work with. I mean outside of UK, Urban Germany/Netherlands and Paris, western/Northern Europe is still over 90% white w/ a large working-class population.
