I think the predominate problem in America is Fascism. This is evident through the fasces symbolism displayed behind the podium in the United States House of Representatives. The fasces was the origin of the name of the Nationalist Fascist Party of Italy (from which the term fascism is derived).
Fascism is when the government controls everything through business (or the reverse). This involves collaboration between government & business in order to enrich each other at the expense of the lives & liberties of the people. Another word for Fascism is "Crony Capitalism". It doesn't matter if it is secular or Christian, liberal or conservative, democrat or republican. Both work together to enrich themselves off the backs of the people & their freedoms. The defense industry in the United States is as an example of crony capitalism in an industry. Connections with the Pentagon and lobbyists in Washington are more important than actual competition due to the political and secretive nature of defense contracts. The Pharmaceutical industry in the United States can also be described as an example of crony capitalism in an industry. Connections between the FDA & CDC, lobbyists in Washington, and industry tycoons is more important than actual competition due to the revolving door. For example, the government's attempt to mandate the Covid-19 "vaccine" which is not a "vaccine" but rather a form of "gene therapy". "When the government fears the people, there is liberty when the people fear the government, there is tyranny" Thomas Jefferson.
