There are many good writings about this subject. In the 1990s, a cultural conservative named Bill Lind wrote about the collapse of the US:

My personal views are a bit different. I think the collapse will likely play out slower than expected. There will be increasing authoritarianism from the centralized state, as social institutions are unable to keep order. Democracy--what is left of it--will be replaced by total autocracy.
It will be similar to what the Roman Empire underwent during the reign of Diocletian and those who came after him. "Reforms" will focus on dividing the empire into manageable regions.
The Congress will be completely bypassed. State and municipal governments will become increasingly irrelevant as authoritarianism is needed to keep order in the face of social unrest.
Social mobility will stagnate, laying the foundations for a new form of feudalism.
