The way I see it goes as follows: the US have always been a social experiment, made to put to the test the fragility of the outermost boundaries of democracy, liberty, and the free market. This experiment was, for a long time, a massive success, as no other country could rival it's power, prowess in almost every field and global influence, this throughout many decades, the ones where it had been most obvious being the 70s and 80s. They were, and still are to a certain degree, responsible for some of the greatest technological and sociological feats in history, and that's what ultimately caused them to plummet as hard as they have in recent times. They've evolved so much, that they're at a point where no other nation has ever been. The racial segregation, for example, that is now heavily felt there is nothing but a product of tackling the problem, instead of, like they had done before and how other nations are currently doing, letting it slide. It's an unavoidable consequence of sociological evolution, at a humanitarian level, the problem being that, whilst at this point of transition they're currently in, which effectively weakens them until they can overcome it, which should take many more decades, less evolved and often belligerent nations do not care for such causes. They see the current state of the US as their final destination, even though it's but a transition phase, and do everything to avoid it, namely, imposing authoritarianism. It's what China's done, and it will be their undoing. The role eugenics will take up will only accelerate their eventual corrosion.
