Yes, republicans love to delude themselves into thinking Ameica is exceptional and the rest of the world is jealous, but the truth of the matter is that other first world nations have social democratic systems that put no drain on their citizens' contentment. It does help that these European nations have lower poverty rates than the US.
I suppose republicans buy into the myth of American exceptionalism because they hilariously believe they are exceptional by extension. Yikes! That's of course not true.
Who's happy, who's not: Norway tops list, US falls
The people on the Titanic were all very happy, right before that Iceberg, and even then most of them didn't know they should be "unhappy" for quite a while.
Just because you think you are happy doesn't mean you SHOULD be happy.
