Eric,
First of all, when it comes to the generations, you have it right with the millennials but not with the Zoomers. What we have to understand about the Zoomers is that as a generation, they are what I would term centrists. However they are starting to turn towards the right due to various reasons.
For example, for a zoomer, every immigrant is a source of economic competition. If you are a white zoomer, you are being told that you are evil. Globalisation is now starting to hurt their job opportunities. So from an economic and political standpoint, it makes sense they are going to turn to the right as it actually benefits them. This is the key here. Right wing policies actually benefit them in the long run.
However I don't see them wanting to ban gay marriage or forbid sex before marriage. But they are turning towards the right and all you have to do is gone on twitter and you can see the stark divide between millennials and Zoomers.
On the one hand, you have millennials crying Trump is a racist. On the other hand, you have zoomer girls turning towards Christianity, Zoomers supporting Brexit and mocking mass immigration and political correctness. So it is happening.
Another factor is going to be continued immigration along with health fears after the Corona virus. "All of those immigrants could bring with them future diseases!". Once again, there is going to be a demand to stop immigration in the near future after the Corona virus scare.
Now regarding America First and globalism.
It actually benefits Americans if America does adopt America First. Why? Firstly, more of those jobs are returning to their country. It is the same with Brexit. More jobs are returning to the native British working class so overall, it benefits them economically.
Second, if America goes for America First, that means an eventual closing down of military bases will take place, causing the country to focus on her own internal affairs. Once again, more money for the local coffers as the large scale military machine shrinks down and there isn't the incentive to continue policing the world. It was starting to happen slowly with Trump and eventually will come full force. Means more lives are saved too.
So overall, America First is the way to go.
