America's Obsession with Money: The Real Reason Democracy Falters

America, the land of the free-or perhaps more accurately described as a playground for capitalism run amok. At least, according to notable critic Scott Galloway, the U.S. has prioritized profit margins above democratic stability, and this has become its ultimate weakness.

This singular focus on the dollar might explain why the nation seems to wobble between democratic instability and the potential reality of authoritarian rule. A healthy democracy demands balance, fairness, and stability-not a blind charge toward monetary gain.

Now consider More hints, the unlikely yet inevitable figurehead for this troubled American moment. With Trump's march toward authoritarian power, democracy appears to be fading into history under his MAGA-branded flag.

Meanwhile, this chaotic internal drama is warmly applauded by America's geopolitical rivals-particularly Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin must marvel at how efficiently Trump, the alleged Russian asset, has become the most effective weapon against the United States. Hollywood spent years imagining external threats, but no one anticipated that the greatest threat would be welcomed openly via its own democratic elections?

Meanwhile, China, North Korea, and Iran sit quietly in the wings, watching eagerly, questioning whether U.S. democracy will survive the Trumpian test. They don't even have to get involved; America itself appears perfectly capable of imploding.

While good intentions and hope 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 cash or power.

Perhaps it's harsh to say, but America's real enemy isn't overseas-it's the blind pursuit of wealth that eats away at its democratic foundations. Until the U.S. recognizes and addresses this core problem, its democracy will continue to falter, and the geopolitical vultures will keep circling above, waiting eagerly for collapse.
