The US isn't being single handedly dismantled. The damage is being done by thousands. You are fooling yourself if you think it can't happen in the EU. People have been working on this for decades. Obviously if it were to happen it's not going to be one rogue, but multiple right leaning countries. As long as you believe it can't happen, the easier it becomes to do it.

There sure are thousands involved, but I’m confident a lot of the destruction we see wouldn’t be possible without the savage in chief and the lowering of standards he brought. This man is a political black swan. Things that used to be unthinkable are suddenly happening all the time.

Things can of course turn sideways in the EU too, but it’s massively more difficult to do so without a broad coalition across multiple independent nations.
