When societies can't solve their internal problems internally they tend to turn outward for solutions. Everybody could see the long string of preventable phenomena leading up to this: financial deregulation, decline of civic institutions, high levels of deaths of despair, rampant individualism, unchecked commerce, rising internal violence, rising inequality, rotten media landscape, open political corruption (not in this order). My only hope at this point is the minimization of violence when the US resets.
