I can totally see our nation falling apart like this. The secret combinations destroyed the regulations of the government (which could yet happen to us) and the society devolved into tribes of like-minded individuals. They were not united in their laws but they were united in their hatred of that group and their desire to keep the peace. The secret combination was powerful enough to destroy the government but not powerful enough to rule and create order in the resulting anarchy.
If the conspiracy theorist/alt-right/white nationalist/militia groups were to overthrow the government they would be able to given themselves (meaning they would be ungovernable by anyone else) but they would be universally reviled by everyone else no matter how little people could agree on between themselves. The result would be a barely functional nation with virtually no international influence. The world would become a scary and polarized place as authoritarian governments became even more emboldened.
