I don’t think they ever will, at least not as the US exists today. I can see a possible future in which the US fractures and Balkanises and then, the better off of those future-countries would maybe see a rejection of traditional US beliefs, values, and ways of thinking.
But I can’t see that happening in the US today because keeping the people ignorant, gullible, and under a broken electoral system is highly beneficial to the ruling elite.
