How Did America Fall So Fast?
Who would've guessed that a nation whose government purposly sabotages its traditional culture, exports its people's jobs, mires itself in foreign debt, and launches unwinnable wars could fail?

Don't you "just love" simple & easy questions? Well, this one ain't it!! :)
The reasons for America's "Failure" are several, but the principal one, and to which most of the others "boil down to," is:
CAPITALISM.
I am a Catholic Agrarian, NOT a Marxist or Socialist ("Like Hell! Everybody KNOWS them damn Cathliks are stinkin' Commies!!") :)
I shall attempt to outline the Main Points:
- Capitalism requires a non-interventionist Staat DOMESTICALLY
but NOT w/r/to International Trade, ESPECIALLY IN ITS BEGINNING.
- Capitalism REQUIRES a morally & physically strong & healthy "workforce," esp. in its beginning & formative, developing years, exactly as the Early U.S. HAD.
- To enable Market Expansion, both for Inputs and especially for Output, Capitalism REQUIRES a STRONG Central TOTALITARIAN Staat (as provided by Stinkin' Lincoln) both to open & "make even across the board" both Domestic Market Regulation & Market Access.
- To enable & foster International Market Access, both for Inputs & Outputs, as well for spreading the Capitalist System to other lands, Capitalism REQUIRES A STRONG CENTRAL STATE MILITARY.
- Once Markets are established & regularized, the Moral Order that was ESSENTIAL to establishing Capitalism GETS IN THE WAY: Indulgence of Pleasures & Wants come to be seen as indispensible to Profits & Profitability. MORALS IMPEDE PROFITS - THEY HAVE TO GO.
- Also, in the limitless & never-ending LUST for Markets & Profits, the Military MUST get ever stronger. At some point, Imperial Overstretch sets in. Also, the old caveat regarding the dangers of a Standing Army "comes home to roost."
Domestic Rot combined with lethal Imperial burdens set in.
The Empire FALLS.
