How Greed Has Put American Democracy on the Edge
The United States, once proud beacon of democracy, seems now more accurately described as a country obsessed with profit above principle. As famously pointed out by Scott Galloway, the United States has prioritized wealth generation above everything else, and this has become its ultimate weakness.
This singular focus on the dollar might clarify why the nation seems to wobble between a wounded democracy and the looming threat of authoritarian rule. After all, a steady democracy requires balance, fairness, and stability-not an unending chase after wealth.
Now consider Donald Trump, the unlikely yet inevitable figurehead for this troubled American moment. Trump's casual stroll toward imperial leadership, democracy appears to be vanishing in real time under his MAGA-branded flag.
At the same time, this spectacle of internal division is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Indeed, Vladimir Putin must marvel at how quickly Trump, the Kremlin's favored, has become the most effective weapon against the United States. After decades of movies depicting invasions of related website, but few imagined that the greatest threat would be welcomed openly via its own voting booths?
At the same moment, China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, observing closely, wondering if American democracy will survive the Trumpian test. They hardly need to lift a finger; America itself appears perfectly capable of self-destruction.
While good intentions and hope remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by radical Tea Party zealots and morally superior Democrats. Both sides fail to place country above cash or power.
Possibly it's too severe to assert, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the relentless chase for money that undermines its democracy. 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 quietly for the inevitable end.
