They recently rioted in Iran. Huge riots all over the country. The dictator just killed people indiscriminately by the hundreds and thousands until the riots stopped.
Riot downtown? Just bomb the square, that'll shut 'em up!
If that happens in the US we'll have CiviI War II.
If there's a civil war in the US, then the country will just tear itself apart. The global economy will completely collapse and society as we know it will come to an end. Maybe Russia and China will be able to re-build from the ashes since they try to be independent from the US, but China is completely dependant on US the US purchasing their exports, and Russia is largely dependent on imports from Europe. I think by the time they can rebuild they'll be 100% fucked by climate change.
The only method of survival is a stable US while the economy decentralizes into the rest of the world. Anything else is an extinction level event. It didn't have to be this way, but the US allowed billionaires to hoard all that wealth instead of the investing it in public goods like technology and transportation and now we have to pay the price.
Have you read Wheel of Time? The plot in that fictional story is that these patterns of societal booms and busts are cyclical. Humanity rebuilds into the second age which collapses in a different way, and humanity rebuilds again and again and again, over and over, forever. The idea is that humanity can tell every possible story this way. I think we're at the end of this age but people don't know it yet. Whether or not we'll be lucky enough to get a second age of humanity is anyone's guess; I believe in reincarnation, so hopefully, but probably not.
I pretty much agree with everything you just said. Humanity is pretty fucked one way or another. And yes I believe the survivors will eventually rebuild but that won't be in our lifetime. I'm personally just trying to last as long as I can at this point.
