I see two fates for Americans at this stage.
There's always more than 2 options.  Especially when we're talking about human beings and their souls, which God wants to save, and which He will perform miracles for, if hearts open up to grace.  Are we headed for rough waters, naturally speaking?  Absolutely.  Are these rough waters long lasting?  It depends on the collective American SPIRITUAL reaction to the coming NATURAL troubles.  God spared Ninevah because there were 10 SPIRITUALLY just men in the whole country.  God can spare America if those few of us continue to honor Him.  Keep praying.

Generalizations are generally correct.  We've seen the trend of how people behave in the world.  Don't be a silly Americanist, thinking that you are somehow an exception compared to the rest of mankind.  

It's not a prediction I look forward to.  But it simply is.

(I didn't downthumb you, for what it's worth.)

Right, we are an immoral nation, in an immoral world, who's ripe for a chastisement (mostly of our own making).  Yet history proves that people generally turn to God when "all hell breaks loose".  So, as we both agree that things are bad morally, it follows that an immoral nation will self-destruct, again, which we both agree with.  The conclusion to the self-destruction is what we disagree on.  I tend to view the future calamities as an opportunity for a spiritual revival, wherein God will have mercy on the mess we've made, once He lets us realize that we can't fix it anymore and we need Him.  History proves this "yo yo" up-and-down moral change is normal, over several generations.  Scripture also proves this is what happened with the Israelites over and over again.  Human nature doesn't change; neither does God.

Only very temporarily. Even the "period of peace" is only supposed to last something like 20 or 25 years following the "chastisement", if those private revelations are even true, before people turn away from God, again, and live in sin.

Look how short-lived people's "conversions" were in the wake of 9/11. It was a joke.

Worldly people find improvement in their selection by going to a bookstore or concert instead of a bar. Traditional Catholics do not. The woman will still be wearing pants, feminist to some degree, not raised Catholic (huge obstacle to overcome, even if she's of good will and wants to convert).

Most of trad Catholic females are "feminist to some degree" too...

My two grandmothers are not trad Catholics and they are less feminist... They always obeyed their husbands and they did not dare contradict them.
