So how many of you actually want the United States to breakdown, and how do you imagine it happening?

I don't think anyone here actually wants America to break down, even the people who think they want it to collapse. Imperial collapses are horrifying things to live through so American loyalists should do what is in their power to prevent it.
The left can be beaten. Just not with Neocons. Get rid of them and you are on the right path. Remember, no matter how powerful they seem, the left goes to absolute pieces at the slightest bit of resistance. Because when they're up against someone they can't shame, they lose half their power.
This is not always the case. Pakistan and India split with relatively little horror. The Czech Republic and Slovakia split with little trouble. Austria and Hungary split peacefully.
It only has to be horrible if one side or the other is unwilling to let go. If we had a velvet divorce, it would be annoying for most and existentially difficult for many, but we'd be ok.
Uhh...no...my god, that was a horror show. Muslims and Hindus killed each other in the streets as suddenly significant amounts of them were on the wrong side of the border.
And years later again in East Pakistan (Bangladesh).
Well that's why I said "relatively"
There wasn't a big-ass war the way there could have been. But I did downplay it more than I meant. I actually have several friends both Muslim and Hindu whose families were caught up in it.
How would we do money?
