History will record this—and future generations will “get it”.

It depends on who writes the history and if the future generations will be capable of reading, let alone comprehending or acting on what they read.
We are following the path of Rome. Everyone who gets it is being attacked and punished.
It’s likely we will run out resources before we run out of recipients, at the rate it is progressing. Instead of managed looting from the top with some redistributive elements to keep the captured interests satisfied, the next stage is an actual sack.
After that, the deluge and it is over. Many will simply leave the US when that happens.
“Many will simply leave the US when that happens.”
I would view history as a guide on this.
Even if the central government falls (as history says it must eventually) that does not mean that people flee the former empire.
It would probably revert to local warlords—with some being vicious and cruel and others more enlightened in the treatment of their subjects.
One benefit—the lies about “democracy” would be over—it would be a time for truth telling.
