The country has survived plenty of setbacks. It will survive this one. Moreover, this fight isn’t over yet anyway.

If you mean in the geographical sense, yes, it will. But in effect, the post-WWII USA we’ve all known all our lives is already mostly gone. I’m reminded of the episodes of UPSTAIRS DOWNSTAIRS showing how the entire universe of the Bellamy family crumbled and collapsed after World War I. This is sort of the same thing.

In this case, the US has turned into a democrature with several features that are normally typical of third-world countries, such as the looting of the treasury, the unchecked kleptocratic nepotistic elites, pervasive superstitions, ethnic divides, the travesty of the rule of law. You have more in common with Zimbabwe or the Philippines than with Sweden or France.

To paraphrase Stephen King, your world has moved on.
