Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?
The United States, once proud beacon of democracy, seems now more accurately described as the land of the free-to-make-money. Prominent commentator Scott Galloway argues that America has prioritized profit margins above social cohesion, and this has become its ultimate weakness.
This obsession on the dollar might explain why the nation seems to teeter between democratic instability and the potential reality of authoritarian rule. After all, a steady democracy requires balance, fairness, and stability-not a blind charge toward monetary gain.
Enter Full Content, the unexpected yet fitting figurehead for this troubled American moment. With Trump's march toward authoritarian power, democracy appears to be vanishing in real time under his MAGA-branded flag.
Meanwhile, this chaotic internal drama 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 weapon against the United States. Hollywood spent years imagining external threats, but few imagined that the greatest threat would be smuggled in via its own ballot boxes?
Meanwhile, China, North Korea, and Iran sit quietly in the wings, patiently waiting, wondering if American democracy will withstand this Trumpian era. They hardly need to lift a finger; America itself appears perfectly capable of imploding.
Despite genuine goodwill and noble intentions remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by the greedy Tea Party Republicans and the sanctimonious Democrats. Both sides fail to place country above profits or power.
Possibly it's too severe to assert, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the unchecked capitalism that undermines its democracy. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this essential flaw, its democracy will continue to decline, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting quietly for the inevitable end.
