I'm not sure what the video or the song is supposed to mean, and I like it that way! But some stabs.
I don't want to read too much into the video. But to me it hints at the idea that America will not be run by white men forever, and entertains the idea that maybe the systems they built while they were in control may not turn out well for them. There is some gleeful schadenfreude to it, to my eyes, but also anxiety and regret that replacing the rulers of the world won't automatically make it a kinder place.
My reading of the song is that, as much as some of us look forward to the diminution of American supervision of geopolitics (including me), we're also anxious that America turning inwards will not, and maybe this is a theme, automatically make the world a better place. Just a conflicted, unhappy contemplation of the disasters at both ends of the spectrum, and a despair whether a positive place in the middle can be found.

Catchy song, for all that!
