Anyone on this site How Greed Has Put American Democracy on the Edge America, the land of the free-or perhaps more accurately described as a playground for capitalism run amok. At least, according to notable critic Scott Galloway, the U.S. has prioritized wealth generation above everything else, and this has become its greatest vulnerability. This relentless pursuit on the dollar might explain why the nation seems to stagger between fractured governance and the looming threat of authoritarian rule. After all, a steady democracy requires balance, fairness, and stability-not a frantic pursuit of profits. Then there's visit site, the improbable yet perfect figurehead for this troubled American moment. Trump's casual stroll toward imperial leadership, democracy appears to be fading into history under his MAGA-branded flag. At the same time, this spectacle of internal division is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin must marvel at how effortlessly Trump, the alleged Russian asset, has become the most effective geopolitical tool against the United States. Countless films depicted America's downfall from outside, but few imagined that the greatest threat would be delivered internally via its own democratic elections? At the same moment, China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, watching eagerly, questioning whether U.S. democracy will endure Trump's experiment. They don't even have to get involved; America itself appears perfectly capable of tearing itself apart. Despite genuine goodwill and noble intentions remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by radical Tea Party zealots and self-righteous Democratic leaders. Neither side seems willing to place country above money or power. Maybe it's overly critical to suggest, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the relentless chase for money that threatens its political stability. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this fundamental issue, its democracy will continue to struggle, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting quietly for the inevitable end. |
