But it remains a single country and a single election period ("election" almost always includes electing multiple people but it is still a single election process) . The dems had control only a few months ago and could have it back in a few years. SCOTUS's impact is purely local. It means little to the rest of the world in the long run. In many places (canada) US politics seems to have an opposite effect. America has shown liberals of the world how not to do things.

No, they've been losing ground pretty steadily for 20 years. The media didn't pay much attention until recently because most of the losses were occurring in "flyover" areas.
They're paying attention now.
Even at the Federal level, the Republicans have had control of the House of Representatives since 2010, and the Senate since 2014.
And I don't agree that it's just the U.S. In other countries you have Brexit, the rise of the Le Pen family in France, etc.
