Is the American Experiment a failure?

We were supposee to be based on:

°Self-Rule

This has failed due to foreign billionaires funding massive PACS

°Equality

This is a clear failure, this needs no explanation

°Separation of church and state

Inch by inch, religion has crept into our government. All 3 branches. I can't think of a single United States president who was not a Christian. Laws are being "interpreted" with their personal religious convictions, and they are happily changing decades of precident based on said personal convictions

°Mass gun violence with nearly zero checks and balances. Nothing is being done to protect citizens from gun violence. A society is a failure if it doesn't protect what forms the society - human beings.

°High maternal death rates, poor education, taxpayer dollars being used to fund private religious schools, undoing protections for persons of color or the LGBTQ community, lack of affordable housing, rollbacks on environmental protections, vast tax breaks for the über wealthy, while the people with the least struggle the most.

This is a brief set of examples amongst many, to lend credence to the idea that the American experiment has failed.

Do you think it has failed? Thanks for reading. This has been on my mind for awhile. It just doesn't seem to be going that great.
