Good news, it’s not going to collapse. It’s going to continue the slow decline it’s been experiencing for the past 20 years. Any violence as decisive as lining people up and shooting them will have enough gradual escalation leading up to it, over years, that you will be able to get the fuck out of dodge before it comes to that.
The rate of decline will not stay constant. If it remains on this current trajectory and the rate of change doesn't change then yeah, it will just continue a slow slide for decades. But these things always reach a certain tipping point when the institutions and norms that kept the machine churning fail and then the dominoes fall rapidly.
