Not just the police state. The way this country functions in every day life has already collapsed. It used to be going to a third world country meant ordering stuff (parts, food, etc) would be a pain, things would get lost/unavailable/etc. People would be lazy and borderline useless. You couldn't depend on anyone, people trying to scam you everywhere.
It used to be life in the USA wasn't like that. Now it is. Daily functioning is very much like living in a third world now when it was 25 years ago. You just have to go watch an old movie or video of what daily life was like in the 50s and compare it to today. If you time traveled someone from the 50s to 2024 America they would already say it's collapsed and a dystopia, far from the flying cars, space travel, etc they expected.
Sorry to agree with you.
