It will be much different, more along the lines of European mediocrity, but it will remain, sure.
I assume China will take our place.

We have a future, though likely a divided one. On the whole we’re likely better off for it. While the fence sitters who occupy the majority bemoan that a split, bloody, or peaceful will never happen; it’s the more passionate, and “extreme” of either side of the spectrum that really make shit happen. For better, or worse. Both end of the spectrum are far apart. I predict that distance will only continue to grow. The middle folks will just continue to do what they always do. Nothing. Just go along for the ride, and try to keep their heads down...I really do not like being a pessimist...perhaps someone can put forth a persuasive argument regarding how America will get back on track and become once again a great nation?
America's great asset was its melting-pot philosophy combined with limited representative democracy. Both are gone, and our demise will be more rapid than anyone predicts.

Many folks on either side have no desire to remain the the same house. Though neither side seems willing to leave. It seems the writing is on the wall.

Both are most certainly not gone.

Obviously you do not understand the philosophy of a melting pot.
In the past immigrants had an intense desire to become Ameicans...I am talking about when most of our immigrants were European...ya know people like us with similar morals,religion and racial makeup.
Our new immigrants shun assimilation....they have no desire to be Americans and in fact many of them are very hostile to America...a lot of which is based on their alien religious beliefs....they just come here to milk the cash cow and send as much money as possible back to the old country to which they come and go as often as they possibly can wherein a lot of them become radicalized if they were nt already...especially the younger generation....very popular now to hate America.

Today’s immigrants are assimilating just as the generations before them did. And as with generations prior, there will always be bigots and racists and the cowardly who panic at the sight of someone arriving just as their own ancestors arrived before them.

The main difference though is we now have laws, there were no laws concerning immigration when my great great great grandfather immigrated here.
It literally was "whoever can survive the trip"
well , another major difference is that those who came here came here on their own risk. Meaning you sank or swam. There is no denying that many come here now simply for the welfare state.

You aren’t trying to fabricate distinctions to support your preconceived notion. They do not hold up against reality.
