There is a certain appeal to accelerationism. This is more relevant to what's happening in Europe, but the US fits some of the same characteristics of precipitous decline. I don't think we'll ever "right the ship", so to speak. The best that can happen is to slow the decline.Here is a recent post on City-Data Forum. (They lifetime banned me.) called "I hope America FAILS." by JDproAV
"There is no recovering from the road we’re heading down. The damage is done. America cannot be salvaged. The Uniparty is either intentionally destroying the country from within, or is so fantastically incompetent at every they touch. The faster we collapse the entire system the faster we can pick up the pieces and rebuild. It’s nothing shocking really. It has happened to just about ever great nation in the past. The more we allow the US to go on as it is, the more strife and suffering our citizens will endure. We’re heading toward a dead end. You know it. Everyone is feeling it."

What are your feelings about the direction America is headed in?

So, from that perspective, a total collapse is the only way to eventually change our trajectory. That's the only real way to "drain the swamp."
Total collapse could happen in a number of ways. Our fiscal situation could reach that point as fewer and fewer nations want to use our currency in trade or as a reserve currency. Culturally, we could reach this if we do nothing about the border. And then there are more dramatic ways, like the spread of an exceptionally contagious and deadly virus (disease X perhaps?) or through nuclear war.
At this point, however, I'm not so sure if DC getting nuked would be a bad thing in the long run. They are the source of not just many of our problems but of much of the world's problems.
