The US is in the same horrific predicament other nations have been in before the collapse of their radical-leftist communist Empires. Typically there is prosecution following mass murder of all political opposition. The country falls to war lords and criminals as the economy collapses. Other nations start noticing the massive violent instability and start to distance themselves from the falling Empire. Sooner or later the Empire can no longer fund itself and loses it's hard-earned influence and then collapses with another political revolution.

The rise and fall of Empires go as this:
<strong people create good times
<good times create weak people
<weak people create hard times
<hard times create strong people

Thing is, the collapse is accelerating faster than normal because of the global internet, information comes out much faster and is harder for Empires to control. Therefore, with the internet age, these Empires will come and go much more rapidly than the days without free global information proliferation. That's why despots are scared of open free speech platforms. The sooner people wake up to evil, the sooner they can take measures to prepare accordingly to survive it, possibly resist it or even avoid conflict altogether.
