Your post nailed it. Dead on accurate.
It is already collapsing and the left is cheering as it does.
Foreign countries want a weak USA and they are getting it.

I've said this many times, people are rushing into Japan to live here permantly, but they are brings their ways with them. So far, it is easy to deport foreigners that break the law. But since they feel they can do what they want ( which many do ), society here is also breaking down. Schools in the larger cities are finding it difficult to teach ruddy children from broken families.

The economy is the biggest pain point I agree.
And the left certainly hasn’t done anything to help that, in reality their policies have only added to the list of problems.
But the scary part to me is that the right thinks they’re salvation from that.
Their last two presidents added a great deal of the debt and problems to the country. Bush with the wars in the Middle East, and some of his policies that lead to 08’. Trump added about 25% to the national debt, and he bailed out a lot of businesses that should have been allowed to fail.
Both parties have been leading to our demise, and the only reason they get away with it is their partisan base convincing themselves they’re not as bad as their opponents. Dogmatic ideology is what is hurting this country, because it doesn’t leave any room for self awareness or introspection.

>The only question to me is do we continue our eventual collapse at our current trajectory or do we see a SHTF event to finish us off. Do we descend into a third world state or a dystopian fascist state?
A great leader will step up and fix this mess. This leader will be so great that he will appear to save many countries that are falling apart. People everywhere will start thinking we actually have a chance at world peace, a new golden age. That's when the real SHTF.
