How will the United States end?

As I smoke this fat doobie filled with Northern Lights KB, I ask myself this.
We are a very young country. 230 years old. The HolyRoman Empire lasted 800 years; its eastern counterpart of what would become the Byzantine lasted over 1,000.
The Ottomans lasted 600.
So, I guess we bottom out. Are we on that track do you suppose? Will the US lose a war or defeat itself through race wars, MSM lies that coax us to react a certain way, storms???
What say you?

Culture war between the God fearing people against the commie liberal atheist hipsters. The war will not last long as the good guys are well armed.

The Holy Roman Empire was NOT the Roman Empire nor was it the Western Roman Empire.

I don't think the human race has evolved to a point spiritually yet that would keep us from turning on each other in competition instead of working together with each other in cooperation. We still have millions of humans on this planet who would kill their fellow human beings without one ounce of remorse. Therefore, we are not too far removed from our more primitive ancestors in that regard. Until the spiritual being that humans truly are comes to know how to override the egotistical physical creature of nature, no human system of government will last in perpetuity. The greedy, competitive, sociopathic shitballs of society will still have that incentive to treat other humans with disrespect and wield power gained with zero responsibility.

At some point, the Sun balloons up and swallows the Earth.

Tough call.
The primary reason earlier civilization lasted that long was the slow development of technology and government systems that were largely based on genetic succession. The large amounts of manpower needed to sustain civilization in the form of slavery and conquered lands also played as a motivator and ultimate detriment.
I severely doubt there will be civil war any time soon. Both parties have too much to lose whether they admit it or not.
I give the US a solid 500 to 600 years. We wont ever be defeated militarily, but will probably divide culturally into multiple different nations. This is a hard right wet dream until you realize that each nation has it's own military, replacing a superpower with 4 to 5 separate weaker nation states.
It will then be a matter of Russia, China, or some other growing power becoming the new superpower. This would be long after the US divided

I could imagine religion would try and take over and control people's lives to a higher level than the gubbermint already is. The atheist liberal hipsters would then be the good guys fighting against an oppressive theocracy.

Serious answer:
Economic collapse. The takers take more and more, producers dwindle. Entitlements spiral out of control. The debt keeps climbing.
