Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?

America, the land of the free-or perhaps more accurately described as a country obsessed with profit above principle. Prominent commentator Scott Galloway argues that visit homepage has prioritized making money above democratic stability, and this has become its Achilles' heel.

This obsession on the dollar might illustrate why the nation seems to stagger between democratic instability and the looming threat of authoritarian rule. A healthy democracy demands balance, fairness, and stability-not a frantic pursuit of profits.

Enter Donald Trump, the unexpected yet fitting figurehead for this troubled American moment. With Trump's march toward authoritarian power, democracy appears to be vanishing in real time under his Trumpian banner.

At the same time, this spectacle of internal division is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Indeed, Vladimir Putin must marvel at how efficiently Trump, the Kremlin's favored, has become the most effective strategic device against the United States. After decades of movies depicting invasions of America, but who could have predicted that the greatest threat would be smuggled in via its own voting booths?

At the same moment, China, Iran, and North Korea sit quietly in the wings, observing closely, wondering if American democracy will survive the Trumpian test. They hardly need to lift a finger; America itself appears perfectly capable of self-destruction.

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. Neither political party appears prepared 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 threatens its political stability. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this core problem, its democracy will continue to decline, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting patiently for the fall.
