How will the USA end?

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

In the way we know, when Jesus comes.

... I knew exactly what this would say when I saw who wrote it.

I should have included an option for the Rapture. Perhaps "Alien invasion/destruction/harvesting/etc" is best choice for that option.

Biblical prophecies being fulfilled don't go under alien shenanigans.

It's what I believe. I know many here have a problem with scenarios involving supernatural interventions but I never have.

At what point does "broken up into smaller countries" end the USA as long as one of those countries claims the name?

Even in a cataclysmic shakeup like the one the USSR had 25 years ago, I don't see the USA as very vulnerable to secession movements. The only one of the fifty states I feel we'd lose in that scenario is Hawaii.

I dunno. Super powerful being shows up at Earth and transports selected humans off the planet. Sounds a lot lot alien harvesting to me. Albeit with less of the usual 'probing'

The rapture would, technically, be an extra-terrestrial invasion.

The USA might never end, but I think it might progress towards an authoritarian dictatorship, and thus in a way it would be over as it would no longer be the grand experiment of liberty is was meant to be. You have one party with corporatist right-statism and another one with corporatist left-statism. The only thing the two parties can consistently agree on is that the government should have a large role on our lives and in the Middle East, and that sticking to the constitution is optional, as it's by-definition a set of limitations on the government.

Another option would be some idiot getting elected and blowing up Moscow, leading to retaliation from the Tsar democratically-elected Russian President.

I'm going to go with being incorporated in a larger Union. Maybe that's just my optimism showing though.

“From whence shall we expect the approach of danger? Shall some trans-Atlantic military giant step the earth and crush us at a blow? Never. All the armies of Europe and Asia...could not by force take a drink from the Ohio River or make a track on the Blue Ridge in the trial of a thousand years. No, if destruction be our lot we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men we will live forever or die by suicide.”

Civil war, followed by a messy partition of the continental U.S. into several ethno-states.
