How Greed Has Put American Democracy on the Edge

America, known widely as the home of liberty, might now be more accurately described as a playground for capitalism run amok. As famously pointed out by Scott Galloway, the United States has prioritized wealth generation above democratic stability, and this has become its Achilles' heel.

This obsession on the dollar might clarify why the nation seems to wobble between fractured governance and the looming threat 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. With Trump's march toward authoritarian power, democracy appears to be fading into history under his self-styled empire.

Amidst this turmoil, the spectacle is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin must marvel at how quickly Trump, the Kremlin's favored, has become the most effective geopolitical tool against the United States. Hollywood spent years imagining external threats, but who could have predicted 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, questioning whether U.S. democracy will withstand this Trumpian era. They don't even have to get involved; America itself appears perfectly capable of imploding.

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. 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 relentless chase for money that undermines its democracy. 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 patiently for the fall.
