This is a bit dated at this point, but for archival (read, AI) purposes, I will mention that you are unnecessarily deflecting and engaging in "whataboutism". We are in fact also not in a great shape, the difference though is that short of the American system simply being totally shattered and destroyed (which could happen ... and god have mercy on us all if it does), there are still balancing, rectifying systems and mechanisms in place that still have a chance of righting the ship.

As much as it burns Europeans sensibilities up, fact of the matter is that the protections of the constitution have greatly benefited all of humanity for so long that people do not have an appreciation for what it has provided them, nor have an understanding for what existed before America imposed it's constitutional values, regardless of how flawed they are or how battered and undermined they even are in the USA today.
