For the average citizen it's all about reward and risk. A large population of the US is middle class and the risk of being detained, alienated or whatnot is far greater than the reward of complete liberty. And besides the surface illusion of liberty seems to be doing an alright job anyways.
Now if the majority of US population sinks into poverty then the elite will have something to worry about. A far more likely scenario for the near future is that smaller countries become affected by citizen outrage, at which point they cut US political and economic influence out of their governments' decisions. You know how America imposes sanctions on Cuba? Well imagine that a large portion of the world imposes sanctions on the US. That might have some meaningful effect although an ongoing relationship with China alone might be enough to keep the US going for a while.
