Europe has a better social safety network and wants people to have more kids.

Germany has the same fertility rate as Japan.

Sweden is a better example.

Germany has very good support for parents, and has been working hard to reverse the downwards fertility trend. Some progress is showing. (Note that I don’t disagree that Sweden is doing better.)

How is it a better example? A better example to fit your narrative you mean.

Clearly parental support is not directly correlated with high birth rates.

That doesn't seem to be the case. The last 60 years saw plenty of anti family propaganda (same like in the US) and the numbers confirm that trend.

The only people keeping the number of kids per family high are immigrants from Africa / Middle East who haven't been indoctrinated for 60 years.

How many African and Middle Eastern do you think the US currently has?

I'll give you a hint - it's quite a lot less than the number of Mormons in the US. Who are a group significantly whiter than the US general population, and with higher birth rates to boot.
