I'm already secure in my positions. No tears for globalists.

I think this is kind of what the OP was talking about to be honest, but that's just my opinion. As conservatism has died out, liberalism has filled the social and political power vacuums. However, I think even that is kind of peaking, as these exacerbated issues have reached a point where the radical left and SJWs have turned quite fascist, and/or boy & girl who've cried wolf a little too many times. We can see this repudiation of decadal (sic) liberal philosophy (social, economic, globalization-wise) in the rise of Trump, and we can see the dissatisfaction and subsequent repudiation of the media bias with the rise of Sanders as well. In either case, there has been some conjoining ideology between the Establishment parties for some decades, and that is to what you stated as the rise of Independents who can see the forest through the trees.
