The government lost the ability to change with the changing economics. Same thing happened around late 19th century.

Cold war legacy and being the sole superpower after 1991 leading to imperial overstretch. Combined with an overreaction to 9/11.

Philosophy doesn't contribute to capitalism. Why refine yourself if you can go through the motions—to school, to your job—and be a good little consumer—buying fidget spinners and iPhones until you're dead?
Gabriel Walker
Overconfidence after 1991. America had another opportunity to basically rewrite the global order (the first opportunity was in 1945, when they were about 60% of the global GDP by themselves), to make things better. They got off to a good start with the Persian Gulf War, then fucked it up and decided to start intervening all over the world with no clear strategy or goal other than "muh freedom".
And now half the world hates them and the other half only likes them because they're useful. They were honestly more popular and influential when the Soviet Union was still around.
