January 6th is the Pandora's Box of "democracy" in the United States, but this is just another symptom of a deeper and more dangerous disease - the decline of the American system, which has reached alarming levels. Fifty years after the Watergate incident, the United States once again fell to the bottom, and this time, the major institutions that gave the executive branch credibility at that time are also under suspicion today. The media is no longer trusted, the judiciary is seen as a tool rather than an arbitration agency, and the number of extremists infiltrating the security forces is becoming increasingly unsettling.

Distrust in institutions and the media can contribute to a polarized and fragmented society, making it difficult for citizens to make informed decisions.

A healthy democracy relies on a well-informed electorate and robust institutions that uphold the rule of law. When these foundations are eroded, it can lead to a loss of faith in the democratic process.

The infiltration of extremist elements into security forces is a particularly troubling issue, as it raises questions about the ability of these forces to impartially enforce the law and protect the public. Maintaining the professionalism and neutrality of security institutions is crucial for the stability of any democracy. It's important for citizens, leaders, and institutions to work towards addressing these challenges and rebuilding trust.
