To Make America Great Again, Start Here

The current status quo is so corrupt that it's no longer seen as corruption, but rather as business as usual. To truly "make America great again," we need to restore the fundamental foundations of greatness, which requires more than just ideological and financial changes. The real source of America's decline is the moral rot that has eroded every institution and aspect of society. This moral rot is worse than in previous eras because it's now normalized and accepted as normal. Examples of this corruption include private equity firms plundering companies and healthcare systems for personal gain. The legal framework has been hollowed out, allowing this pillage and plunder to continue unchecked. Social barriers have also been dismantled, and corporations no longer feel a sense of social responsibility to the community. Every institution has been hollowed out by self-service, leading to a lack of trust among younger generations. Capitalism can only function properly when embedded in a moral order, as seen in the examples of Christianity in early European capitalism and Confucianism in China. To truly make America great again, we need to recognize the moral sinkhole we're in and restore a moral foundation to our society.
