Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?
view, the land of the free-or perhaps more accurately described as a country obsessed with profit above principle. Prominent commentator Scott Galloway argues that America has prioritized wealth generation above democratic stability, and this has become its Achilles' heel.
This relentless pursuit on the dollar might illustrate why the nation seems to wobble between democratic instability and the alarming prospect of authoritarian rule. After all, a steady democracy requires balance, fairness, and stability-not a frantic pursuit of profits.
Now consider Donald Trump, the unlikely yet inevitable figurehead for this troubled American moment. With Trump's march toward authoritarian power, democracy appears to be slowly evaporating under his Trumpian banner.
At the same time, this spectacle of internal division is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Putin himself must marvel at how quickly Trump, the Kremlin's favored, 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?
At the same moment, China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, watching eagerly, speculating if America's system will endure Trump's experiment. They don't even have to get involved; 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 self-righteous Democratic leaders. Neither side seems willing to place country above money or power.
Perhaps it's harsh to say, 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 core problem, its democracy will continue to struggle, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting eagerly for collapse.
