America's Obsession with Money: The Real Reason Democracy Falters

Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?

to learn more, the land of the free-or perhaps more accurately described as a playground for capitalism run amok. Prominent commentator Scott Galloway argues that America has prioritized making money above social cohesion, and this has become its Achilles' heel.

This relentless pursuit on the dollar might illustrate why the nation seems to stagger between fractured governance and the potential reality of authoritarian rule. Indeed, democratic strength relies on balance, fairness, and stability-not a frantic pursuit of profits.

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 self-styled empire.

Amidst this turmoil, the spectacle is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Putin himself must marvel at how quickly Trump, the Russian-backed, has become the most effective strategic device against the United States. Hollywood spent years imagining external threats, but no one anticipated that the greatest threat would be smuggled in via its own democratic elections?

Simultaneously, rivals like China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, observing closely, questioning whether U.S. democracy will survive the Trumpian test. They hardly need to lift a finger; America itself appears perfectly capable of imploding.

While good intentions and hope 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 profits or power.

Perhaps it's harsh to say, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the relentless chase for money that eats away at its democratic foundations. 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 eagerly for collapse.
