I think part of the problem in America is a lack of trust and mismanagement. There seems to be his idea believed there that it is the greatest nation on earth, yet simultaneously, people are often deeply dissatisfied with their experience there, especially in regards to economic disparity and opportunity.

Our constitution was written by men with a realistic view of human nature, thus it was written to decentralize power and restrain ambitious people who sought to consolidate power. Unfortunately, evil men succeed anyway and have consolidated big tech, the largest corporations, higher education, and some arrogant politicians who believe themselves so smart they should wield unrestrained power over all other Americans. God will judge them in the long term and I pray He will take them out in the short term, in His mercy.
Do you think it is evil, or incentive? I see it as a disorganized alignment driven by the system set up and it isn't new, it has been pulling more tightly together for hundreds of years. I don't think a written constitution is going to affect behavior more than process incentive.
I don't rely on a god. I think if there was a god that wanted to do something, ew have been around for a few hundred thousand years as humans already.
God is patiently giving evil men opportunities to repent. The oldest man who ever lived, Methuselah, lived to be almost a thousand. Why? Because his name means "after he dies, it comes." "It" being The Flood. God is a balance of mercy and holiness. For a sensible explanation of America today, just read the first chapter of Romans in the New Testament. It is an exact description of America today.
Not just that. People don't understand the word 'socialism', 'communism' and relates universal healthcare to either or both. I am unsure why either words are 'bad'. But there you go, I am unable to educate people :)
Currently, income inequality all over the world is very high. In the United States, it is extreme! This level of income ineuality if not sustainable in the long term. This is and will lead to social unrest at a variety of levels and scales. The trouble is, when it is too late, guns won't be able to stop it. That's the sad part.
