That really is not a good takeaway.

Regarding free speech: How many arrests happen in the U.S. at town halls, school assemblies etc. because someone says something the board or mayor doesn't like? How often do police officers arrest people for filming them and so on? The courts typically side with you, however let's not pretend there aren't any consequences. Be it jail or police brutality.

Regarding the U.S. constitution: It is worthless. If the president can ignore it without consequence and the supreme court and congress doesn't care, what is the point?

It may very well be that the state might fail, but let's be honest not before the U.S. will.

Well, we had German Empire, Weimar Republic, 3rd Reich, BRD and DDR and now "Germany", I consider it a new state after the reunification. It will likely implode in the next 10 years.

The US Constitution still stands, after 250 years....
