America is not dead, because Neo-Liberalism and Leftism are ideologies that are on the verge of ideological collapse the way Soviet Communism, Positivism, and Neopolitanism died. The issue is that the death-throws of Leftism tend to be more violent than it's actual death. Places like Seattle will eventually be reclaimed, it's just that the Left destroys itself quite violently towards itself. Everything that is outside of it's grasp, all anti-parallel institutions, will be fine.
