Look, anyone with any sense of history knows the USA wasn't going to last forever. Aging is a result of imperfect cell replication; so too populations, where each successive generation experiences mutations. At present, we are so far removed from the original governing & organizing principles that it's really just a monster at this point.
Since there are no longer any political corrective measures that can applied, we've reached the stage where every civilization has gone before. What comes next is a battle for control, where the loser is barred from the public sphere. Patriots know exactly what progs intend, but how many nationalists are willing to apply the same measures? Trump had his chance, but in the final analysis, it's clear he really didn't want to be "that guy". Too bad, because deferring the situation is only going to make it worse.
However, what's really going to make things 'interesting' are larger scale issues that normal political conversations don't address. I'm speaking about resource constraints, such as peak oil, overpopulation and environmental degradation. The conflicts already occurring on the margins - in the least developed nations - is what's driving the migratory herds to first world countries.
Add to this mix a whole host of scientific and technical advances in genetic engineering, atomic level computing (sensory devices + computational abilities), etc and it's going to be a wide open fight for control. I for one have pretty much conceded any short-term concern - it's really just a waste of time. Of far more interest is puzzling out the medium term game and being financially positioned.
Finely tuned analysis and well put. The “turd” world “migratory” masses being employed against the 1st World, including what is left of Western Civilization in Europe. Any proper reaction to this purposeful degradation being dismissed as being “white” when it is indeed not just... white. It is civilization vd. apocalyptic groveling masses of “eaters”.
“Eaters” btw is a term used in the novel “One Second After” by William Forstchen-— post EMP attack US, major infrastructure dependent on electronics, computers, and modern engineering all regressed to the 19th Century (horses, mules, nascent engineering). “Eaters” of course being cannibals, who, once the Twinkie and canned goods have all been hoarded/consumed... then move to the areas of the country where survival is possible to those who know how, so they can kill/consume those foods and/or the survivors.
Of course, politically, these same “eater” breeding stock are trying—Cloward Piven and Alinsky strategies- to overwhelm the delivery systems of government, to drive the system to failure and create chaos, into which steps the communists (whose first task is eliminate the anarchists, and separately, anybody who knows how to take care of themselves) as the “leaders”. Balkanization, and gangland.
So true but lost in the fog of war. I cannot see, at this point, how we shall ever recover our original Republic. ...and: the greatest enemy of freedom is corruption and greed. OMG! We have Congress people worth tens of millions of dollars and at least one worth over a billion! Where is the outcry?!!

Your list is insightful but overlooks two huge threats: economic collapse due to unsustainable debt and a huge natural disaster such as a massive Pacific coast earthquake or the eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano, just to name two possibilities.
Now that we are being forced to embrace infanticide in the extreme as an acceptable political reality, as a Christian I must confront the possibility of Divine judgment upon us all... and my reaction must be: Anathema Maranatha!
