We are very far away from the status quo in the US. Some countries are overtaken by extreme right, which is worrying. But it's nothing like the US where the entire country went to shit overnight.
Also, we don't have this singular president entity which has so much power that everything can be turned upside down in just one election. We have a president but she has very little power and influence compared to the way it is in the US.
Also, our multi-party system prevents the two-party zero-sum setup that is present in the US where parties go to ever extreme methods to make the other side look bad (because a lose for one is a win for the other). For us it doesn't work that way.
