Little history for people who want to watch it repeat itself:
"The Roman Republic fell due to internal political corruption, greed, and civil wars, with figures like Julius Caesar consolidating power and ultimately undermining the Senate's authority. 
The Senate's cession of power to figures like Caesar and later Augustus marked a departure from its traditional role. 
This internal breakdown was exacerbated by economic problems, a shift in military loyalty from the state to individual generals, and the inability of the government to manage its vast territories effectively"
We're in the midst of this currently.  
The future will see the United States fall apart and individual states coming together to form new nations.
