Greed
Everything wrong with America today is due to greed or coveting. Consumerism drives us and the need for more. Family, community, values no longer take priority. It’s not just in the wealthy, but all the way to the welfare queens. Everyone has to have more. Give me more entitlements, give me more benefits, pay me more, sell my business to big corporations, sell my country out to China, sell my home to blackrock, sell the farm to Bill Gates or some foreign investment group. My children’s future and stability be damned, my country or town be damned, as long as I get more right now. Let’s run up debt and print more money to fund our over the top lifestyle and let someone pay the bill in 40 years.

Standards
You either hold people to them or you don’t.

I wish I could say narcissism. Because that can be overcome
But I think nihilism. These crazy people in the world actually think there is no intrinsic value in anything.

3 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. 2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, 4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.

If it weren't for single-parent households we wouldn't have strippers and porn stars.

"Fear"
... big upvote for this. Americans are the most fearful people in the world. Fearful people act with anger, anxiety,
dis-trust and selfishness.

DECLINE
Pure and simple. Our society, the United States of America, is in decline. All of the issues we are experiencing is because of this. You can fight it if you want, but that is a losing battle. What you should do, imho, is accept and prepare for it.
