One possibility I read about recently was sea level rise too rapid for the ports to cope with, which could happen on the east coast if the AMOC collapses. The inability to inexpensively deliver goods to most of the population will probably be enough to kick off some shenanigans.
Next week Saturday. It's a full moon, people get a little antsy in their pantsy.
2048, a century of the government declaring war on communism.
When it's without meeeeee :3
I'm sorry, it's for the greater good
It will either be from global warming related food shortages or supply chain issues with China.
Hyper inflation. The war budget is completely out of control. Far too much sanctions. Too much meddling. BRICS, MINT. Collapse of the petrol dollar. The whole 
debacle - I can see America especially loosing standing. These self imposed restrictions only end up in higher costs for everyone devaluing the dollar. 2080-2100 if we dont blow ourselves up by then.

I’ve been cooking up a series of posts for the worldbuilding comm where
- Biden wins 270-268 after Trump gets convicted
- Trump wins anyway because of two faithless electors
- Trump dies in prison, ‘Swamy is next in line
- Vivek tries to pull off Project 2025, just makes everyone pissed off at him
- and the separate attempts of the EU and China to Color Revolution the country before nukes start getting stolen leads to a blursed quasi-demsoc successor that halfassed going Landback (America’s name got changed but Houston’s hasn’t and tribes still don’t have their promised authority, leaving absolutely no one happy), has lost basically all finance capital to Paris/Mumbai, and is temporarily down a few dozen positions in HDI
- fortunately we finally got healthcare/guaranteed housing/public transport plans so at least we got a relatively sweeter deal among the fates of historical collapsed superpowers ig
(If it sounds totally cracked to you, I agree)
