America is indeed entering into a new phase. A new cultural phase of darkness and totalitarianism. We are seeing it form before our very eyes. The country is becoming disconnected from everything it once was and once represented.
Sometimes these things aren’t all that noticeable to people at ground floor, and at the time they are happening. You have to consciously incorporate a wider historical and cultural net to truly grasp the gravity of it all. We’re likely far closer to that supposedly distant collapse/breakup than any of us really imagine.

Very true. and it’s happening every day.
America is suffering a death by a thousand cuts.
Adroitly stated.
Back in the late 60s, an Italian immigrant friend came to visit. In Italy, he had received a "classical" education, where they study all aspects of the history, language, and culture of an ancient civilization. He studied Ancient Rome and Greece. After surveying the American culture at that time (this was the early period of American feminism with Gloria Steinem and Bella Abzug), he pointed to both Roman and Greek history. He claimed that throughout history, once women rose to power, they were soon followed by a rise in the homosexual movement, after which the culture collapsed under the burden of legislation.
He pointed to those feminists and predicted that in my lifetime, I would witness the collapse of the US. I bristled at the notion, then laughed. It seemed so absurd and far fetched. All they were asking for was "equal pay for equal work". I stopped laughing around the year 2000 as what he predicted began to unfold before my eyes.
You may find this to be relevant and quite enlightening.
