The Rise and Fall of American Power: How Internal Division Threatens the United States By:Damon Galdo

The United States has long been regarded as one of the most powerful nations in the world. Its economic strength, military dominance, and strategic geographic location have rendered it virtually invincible to external threats. However, the greatest threat to America’s continued dominance comes not from a foreign adversary but from within. As the country becomes increasingly divided, the influence of far-left ideologies, propagated by certain factions of the Democratic Party, is undermining the very foundations that made the United States great. This article explores how internal division, driven by socialist, Marxist, and communist ideals, is weakening the nation, making it vulnerable to external influence, particularly from China. We will examine how Democrats’ soft stance on China and infiltration by Chinese spies contribute to this decline and compare these developments with the Communist goals outlined in the Congressional Record of January 10, 1963.

Since its founding, the United States has been blessed with advantages that have made it nearly impossible to conquer from the outside. Its vast natural resources, innovative economy, and unmatched military have positioned it as a superpower. Geographically, the United States is protected by two vast oceans, the Atlantic and the Pacific, which act as natural barriers against invasions. The strength of the U.S. military machine has deterred would-be aggressors, making any direct confrontation very difficult. The U.S. also forged strong alliances through NATO and other partnerships, further solidifying its global influence.

The strength of the United States is not merely a product of its military might but also of its ideological commitment to freedom, capitalism, and democratic governance. The American system, built on principles of individual liberty and free enterprise, fueled economic growth that was unparalleled in human history. The nation’s ability to produce, innovate, and adapt allowed it to outpace rivals and maintain its position of dominance.

Despite its unparalleled external strength, the United States faces its greatest threat: internal division. The nation’s political landscape has become increasingly polarized, with a growing chasm between left and right. This divide is not just about policy differences but reflects a deeper ideological battle over the future of the country. On one side, conservative Americans believe in preserving the nation’s capitalist and Judeo-Christian heritage. On the other side, far-left factions, including some Democrats, push for a radical transformation of American society, embracing socialist and Marxist ideals that are at odds with the country’s founding principles.

This internal strife weakens the nation from within, creating vulnerabilities that foreign adversaries can exploit. The far-left’s influence in media, education, and government has led to the erosion of traditional American values, replacing them with divisive identity politics and anti-capitalist rhetoric. The growing acceptance of socialist and Marxist ideas among Democrats has been a significant factor in the country’s decline, as these ideologies undermine the economic and social structures that have sustained American power.

The Democratic Party, particularly its far-left wing, has played a pivotal role in the deepening political divide. Embracing progressive policies that prioritize government control over individual freedom, many Democrats have shifted away from the pro-growth, pro-American stances that defined their party in the mid-20th century. Today, the party’s alignment with socialist and Marxist ideals threatens the nation’s core values. Look at the riots from 2020 and the pro Hamas protests happening now.

One of the most glaring issues is the Democratic Party’s approach to China. Democrats have often been accused of being soft on China, prioritizing economic engagement and allowing China to take advantage of our lost mentality of peace through strength. Now we have many national security concerns. This lenient stance has allowed China to exploit the United States economically and politically, gaining influence over American institutions. China’s growing power poses a direct threat to American interests, yet Democrats continue to downplay this reality.

The problem extends beyond policy. Reports of Chinese spies infiltrating the highest levels of American government further underscore the threat. For example, Congressman Eric Swalwell was linked to a Chinese spy named Fang Fang, who was involved in his fundraising efforts and raising some other things as well. Senator Dianne Feinstein and New York Governor Kathy Hochul and other prominent Democrats have also faced allegations of Chinese influence. These instances are not isolated; they reflect a broader pattern of Chinese attempts to infiltrate and influence American political leaders, particularly within the Democratic Party.

The media’s role in this divide cannot be overstated. Many mainstream outlets have become propaganda arms for the Democratic Party, pushing narratives that align with far-left ideologies while vilifying conservative perspectives. This media bias skews public perception, contributing to the erosion of trust in traditional American institutions. Rather than holding power accountable, the media often shields the Democratic Party from criticism, perpetuating a cycle of misinformation that keeps the public divided.

The media’s soft stance on China mirrors the Democrats’ approach. Stories critical of China are often downplayed, while narratives that align with the far-left’s anti-American sentiment are amplified. This selective reporting serves to weaken the American public’s resolve against foreign adversaries, especially when these adversaries are presented as benign or misunderstood.

The current trajectory of the Democratic Party aligns with the Communist goals outlined in the Congressional Record of January 10, 1963. This document, which lists 45 goals for Communist infiltration and subversion of American society, reads like a playbook for the far-left’s agenda. Among the goals are calls to discredit American culture, promote the breakdown of traditional family values, infiltrate the media, and gain control of key positions in government.

Many of these goals have been realized in modern America. The infiltration of educational institutions, the promotion of anti-American sentiment, and the spread of Marxist ideology through media and entertainment are all tactics that have been successfully employed by those seeking to undermine the United States from within. The Democratic Party’s embrace of these ideals, whether intentional (I believe it is) or due to ideological drift, has placed the country on a dangerous path.

The United States cannot be conquered by external enemies; its power and geographic advantages make such a scenario unlikely. However, the nation is vulnerable to internal subversion, particularly as far-left ideologies continue to spread through key institutions. The Democratic Party, with its soft stance on China, susceptibility to foreign influence, and alignment with socialist and Marxist ideals, poses a significant threat to the country’s future.

To preserve American strength, it is imperative that the public rejects these divisive ideologies and reaffirms the principles that made the country what it was: individual freedom, capitalism, and the rule of law. Only by addressing the internal threats posed by idiotic policies of the left and foreign influence can the United States hope to remain a beacon of freedom and prosperity in an increasingly hostile world. Kamala Harris says, “we’re not going back.” As she has yet to state any of her policies clearly, I’m certain we should go back,  and build back what we had, and make America great again!
