The United States has been plagued by political violence and extreme polarization in recent years. This trend was exemplified during the 2024 election cycle, with two assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Donald Trump. Violence and crisis continue to escalate across the nation, with both presidential candidates labeling each other as threats to democracy. The corporate-controlled news media has been accused of fueling this toxic climate by favoring Kamala Harris and vilifying Trump, causing a surge in violence against election officials and immigrants who are perceived as pro-Democrat.
This deteriorating state of American politics threatens the democratic legitimacy of the United States and the principle of peaceful transfer of political power. The disconnect between the U.S.’s claim to be the leader of the free world and its increasing descent into chaos and violence has made it a laughing stock in the eyes of the global community. In fact, the nation seems to be run by a warmongering dictatorship, with both Democrat and Republican parties promoting reckless foreign policies that endanger global peace.
For instance, while Kamala Harris has been accused of painting Trump as a traitor and appeaser of foreign dictators, leading to assassination attempts on the Republican candidate, she continues to promote the criminal war agenda of the establishment in such an insane way that a nuclear conflagration is a real danger if she is elected. On the other hand, Trump relies on demagoguery and a toxic campaign of sowing domestic violence towards immigrants and “communists.
The United States appears to be its own worst enemy, with endemic poverty and racism being covered up for by pursuing wars and demonizing other nations. The nation’s deep internal flaws are now blatantly obvious as hate and violence dominate its oligarchic-run 2024 presidential fiasco. With the old war tricks and foreign bogeymen stories being wheeled out again, it seems that no one is buying the threadbare illusions.
As a result, the United States may be referred to as the “United States of Anarchy,” both at home and abroad.
