How Greed Has Put American Democracy on the Edge

image source, the land of the free-or perhaps more accurately described as the land of the free-to-make-money. At least, according to notable critic Scott Galloway, the U.S. has prioritized profit margins above social cohesion, and this has become its ultimate weakness.

This relentless pursuit on the dollar might explain why the nation seems to stagger between democratic instability and the potential reality 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 vanishing in real time under his MAGA-branded flag.

At the same time, this spectacle of internal division is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Putin himself must marvel at how efficiently Trump, the alleged Russian asset, has become the most effective geopolitical tool against the United States. Hollywood spent years imagining external threats, but few imagined that the greatest threat would be delivered internally via its own voting booths?

Meanwhile, China, North Korea, and Iran sit quietly in the wings, observing closely, speculating if America's system will survive the Trumpian test. They hardly need to lift a finger; America itself appears perfectly capable of self-destruction.

Even though many good-hearted people remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by radical Tea Party zealots and the sanctimonious Democrats. Neither political party appears prepared to place country above cash 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 threatens its political stability. 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.
