Don't pretend that now is any different. The whole world is not like Western Europe. The direction the US goes is far from determined. I can see us backsliding into a third-world hellhole.
If it's one thing that I have learned from my naïve study of history it is that societies will follow the direction set by their intelligentsia, the Academy. When intellectuals (such as Thomas Aquinas) supported burning heretics alive, society complied. When intellectuals stopped supporting the practice, it faded.
