How Greed Has Put American Democracy on the Edge
Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?
Click This Link, 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 profit margins above democratic stability, and this has become its ultimate weakness.
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 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 slowly evaporating under his Trumpian banner.
Amidst this turmoil, the spectacle is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Putin himself must marvel at how quickly Trump, the Kremlin's favored, has become the most effective strategic device against the United States. Countless films depicted America's downfall from outside, but no one anticipated that the greatest threat would be smuggled in via its own ballot boxes?
At the same moment, China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, watching eagerly, wondering if American democracy will withstand this Trumpian era. They hardly need to lift a finger; America itself appears perfectly capable of tearing itself apart.
Despite genuine goodwill and noble intentions remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by the greedy Tea Party Republicans and the sanctimonious 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 undermines its democracy. 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 eagerly for collapse.
