The only thing, realistically, that will save America is a massive crisis similar to and on the scale of the Russian Civil War.
Montesquieu has a great quote from his book on the Romans which likely applies to America's end:

Keep it classy, Broseph. Keep it classy.
In the words of my patron saint, still seems are creating a tight menu and mistaking it for the meal itself. It's a self fulfilling prophecy, the way you are classifying everyone in your little anti-everything-but-grumpy-far-right subculture. Young boys will pick up on this and fuck themselves. "Nerds are different than artists, I identify as nerd, to keep my high school lump identity pure, I will shun things outside the nerd identity."
I stand by my belief that autists are shaman unable to flower in a secular materialist society that doesn't pick us up for that path, expecting us to ape other roles instead. That is, unless they can sell their art. Autists and artists go together quite fine. Those trying to believe there is a huge difference between nerd and artist might be those who are bitter they haven't picked up any art form and are only passively consuming it. Yes, creating stuff attracts girls. This is true throughout the animal kingdom where the male fluffs his colorful feathers out, sings and builds the nest to lure her in.
Being condescending with a shoddy pop science foundation is a definite reject, stigletz. Why? You're the kind of nerd who rejects us. You reject the women who are most like you because you're likely thinking of passing on your genes with an interchangable hottie and I'm thinking of who I'd enjoy playing and living with. This might not be true, but unfair assumptions aren't nice, are they? I'm a woman so I must think everything is a romcom rather than going by keeping my eyes open outside and watching what's happening. Condescending to me doesn't read as confident. If I react to cues, that just sets off my nonsexual predator mode.
I despise men with this attitude!
If it was your intent, you do get a troll point for the romcom comment. Yes, I'm "triggered" by the forced construction of all women to a stereotype when I had to deal with being the outcast all my life with the same shit autism communication problems Elliot faced. It's the same bullshit arguing with Gamergate claiming I must be into "Bejeweled" when I'm a lifelong RPG gamer and know women are all over the MMORPGs like Everquest.
It's doubtful that any real scientist would immediately extrapolate that women are rejecting most men with that research when the fact is that we can be forced to "pass on our genes" because we're the ones who get pregnant and men can avoid it if they wish. We're the carriers and for most of history, many died early. Complexity must be factored in instead of ignored to hold onto internet argument bludgeons. "Nerds" would have been weeded out of this gene pool long ago if it were the case that they are not important, wanted, needed as is. We like a guy who creates and knows what he's doing on some level. It tantalizes us and it takes many kinds. The successful human society has many roles to fill. We need shaman and explorers, which is what the currently angst-ridden "incel" batch is. Some of them are caged into boxes both against their will or stuck in self-induced inertia. Condescending douches on PUA theory are my one-night stands at best, not my loves. My love would think it out more and re-evaluate based on more, conflicting information. Simplified pop science isn't enough.
We are in a secular materialist society and so many autists are budding shaman. I'll (again) continue with this being the main problem. They aren't getting mentors who develop their unique skills with dignity. Tribal societies with faith would do this. Native American and indigenous societies, along with European folk societies, wouldn't cast out that kind of weirdo. He'd be snatched up for the spiritualist route. European societies need to get this back.
