Yes! USA is not "Western Society".
Yes, the damage the US will cause with its collapse will suck, but Western Society as a whole is doing pretty well.
Aside from the commonwealth countries, Northern Europe is doing great. Germany is having some issues with AfD, but overall things are steady there. France has its usual issues, but they've soundly rejected the extreme right. Ireland is doing amazingly well. Benelux is just fine. Poland made a sudden turn towards openness and EU integration in their last election. Sure, Italy's leader is right wing, but she's hardly been wrecking things the way Trump has.
But, it's no shock that an American thinks that American troubles means the collapse of democracy and civilization.
