Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?

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. Prominent commentator Scott Galloway argues that America has prioritized wealth generation above democratic stability, and this has become its Achilles' heel.

This singular focus on the dollar might explain why the nation seems to teeter between a wounded democracy and the alarming prospect of authoritarian rule. After all, a steady democracy requires balance, fairness, and stability-not an unending chase after wealth.

Enter Donald Trump, the unexpected yet fitting figurehead for this troubled American moment. Trump's steady stride toward dictatorial ambition, democracy appears to be slowly evaporating 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. Countless films depicted America's downfall from outside, but few imagined that the greatest threat would be welcomed openly via its own voting booths?

Simultaneously, rivals like China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, observing closely, speculating if America's system will endure Trump's experiment. There's no need for them to intervene directly; America itself appears perfectly capable of imploding.

Despite genuine goodwill and noble intentions remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by radical Tea Party zealots and self-righteous Democratic leaders. Both sides fail to place country above cash or power.

Maybe it's overly critical to suggest, 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 fundamental issue, its democracy will continue to struggle, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting quietly for the inevitable end.
