As bad as the divisions and societal breakdown and moral dissolution seems to be in the USA for an observer on the other side of the Atlantic, things are even worse in Europe and the UK as far as I can see. I believe that as long as your First Amendment remains, the USA can still emerge from this - however it ends - as the exemplar of true representative democracy in its pure sense : "people power".

The rest of us in the former democracies are relying on it !

My parents were immigrants from Europe post WW2. They knew that this country held a promise of freedom and prosperity for those who worked to maintain those two ideals. That’s the crux of the matter. Freedom is not guaranteed for those who take it for granted, and neither is prosperity. This country is worth fighting for. Yes, indeed!
