The United States may be soon to collapse.

Did you guys know when China launched it's new spaceship they have a 90 minute special on national television and played "America the Beautiful" in the backround.

That doesn't mean much, China is pretty much an extension of Alaska.

Oh hey look a ridiculous proposition in an upcoming bill let's freak out about it and make unfounded assumptions about what MIGHT happen.

This kinda of stuff is extremely common.  Lawmakers will often tack on silly or just plain nonsensical propositions in legislation they disagree with in the hopes that it will be denied or vetoed.  Since it is not possible to approve one line of a bill and deny another, if the bill is denied because of said silly inclusion, the entire bill is denied.

One such famous example was in which a Congressman disagreed with a bill, so he moved to include that upon passage of the bill, the United States of America would henceforth be formally known as the "United States of the World."  The bill was obviously shot down.

i still have no credible source that says there's anything wrong with this bill
just people taking specific lines out of context and raising the alarm that the USA is about to collapse or some stuff

No, we'd be fighting the armed civilians and military personnel who support the old guys in suits as well.

This. The last civil war wasn't some people mad about a bill starting a revolution, it was states with armies fighting for secession. Any violent protest against this law (implying there even will be violent opposition) will be put down by the government.
