It might be dysfunctional but largely in very different ways (unless you view it extremely superficially).
See: 2020 in the US.
> completely failed monetary policy
See printing off a lot of money to deal with an emergency because the US hasn't had a meaningful conversation about revenue since 1993 when George HW Bush went back on "read my lips"
> sky-high level of corruption
You have people on this court accepting vacations and gifts from people who are wishing to push a certain political viewpoint on the court. They just ruled this was okay, too, by neutering a federal anti-bribery statute. Money is considered protected political speech.
There are a lot of parallels between Weimar Germany and the current state of the USA. More than anyone should feel comfortable with.
