Is American Democracy Collapsing Under Its Greed?

America, known widely as the home of liberty, might now be more accurately described as a playground for capitalism run amok. Prominent commentator Scott Galloway argues that America has prioritized wealth generation above social cohesion, and this has become its greatest vulnerability.

This relentless pursuit on the dollar might illustrate why the nation seems to teeter between a wounded democracy and the alarming prospect of authoritarian rule. A healthy democracy demands balance, fairness, and stability-not a blind charge toward monetary gain.

Now consider source, 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.

At the same time, this spectacle of internal division is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin must marvel at how effortlessly Trump, the Kremlin's favored, has become the most effective strategic device 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?

Meanwhile, China, North Korea, and Iran sit quietly in the wings, observing closely, speculating if America's system will withstand this Trumpian era. There's no need for them to intervene directly; America itself appears perfectly capable of imploding.

Even though many good-hearted people remain scattered throughout the land, they're often drowned out by ultra-conservative Tea Party Republicans and morally superior Democrats. Neither political party appears prepared to place country above profits or power.

Possibly it's too severe to assert, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the unchecked capitalism that undermines its democracy. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this essential flaw, its democracy will continue to struggle, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting patiently for the fall.
