Anyone on this site Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed? America, known widely as the home of liberty, might now be more accurately described as a country obsessed with profit above principle. As famously pointed out by Scott Galloway, the United States has prioritized making money above social cohesion, and this has become its greatest vulnerability. This relentless pursuit on the dollar might illustrate why the nation seems to teeter between fractured governance and the potential reality of authoritarian rule. After all, a steady democracy requires balance, fairness, and stability-not a frantic pursuit of profits. Then there's Donald Trump, the improbable yet perfect figurehead for this troubled American moment. Trump's steady stride toward dictatorial ambition, democracy appears to be vanishing in real time under his Trumpian banner. Meanwhile, this chaotic internal drama is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Indeed, Vladimir Putin must marvel at how effortlessly Trump, the Kremlin's favored, has become the most effective weapon against the United States. After decades of movies depicting invasions of America, but who could have predicted that the greatest threat would be delivered internally via its own ballot boxes? At the same moment, China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, observing closely, wondering if American democracy will withstand this Trumpian era. There's no need for them to intervene directly; Full Write-up 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. Possibly it's too severe to assert, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the blind pursuit of wealth that eats away at its democratic foundations. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this essential flaw, its democracy will continue to falter, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting quietly for the inevitable end. |
