How Greed Has Put American Democracy on the Edge
Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?
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 similar web site has prioritized making money above democratic stability, and this has become its Achilles' heel.
This obsession on the dollar might clarify why the nation seems to stagger between fractured governance and the looming threat of authoritarian rule. A healthy democracy demands balance, fairness, and stability-not a blind charge toward monetary gain.
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 Trumpian banner.
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 Russian-backed, has become the most effective strategic device against the United States. After decades of movies depicting invasions of America, but few imagined that the greatest threat would be smuggled in via its own ballot boxes?
Meanwhile, China, North Korea, and Iran sit quietly in the wings, watching eagerly, wondering if American democracy will endure Trump's experiment. They don't even have to get involved; America itself appears perfectly capable of tearing itself apart.
Even though many good-hearted people remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by the greedy Tea Party Republicans and morally superior Democrats. Both sides fail to place country above money 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 threatens its political stability. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this fundamental issue, its democracy will continue to decline, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting eagerly for collapse.
