A lot of that probably comes with being the superpower. I'll usually hear about how other countries are much worse off and everybody wants to come to the US as a sort of rebuttal. Wasn't the UK in a similar situation until after WWII and being humiliated by the US at Suez? I feel like the US losing its superpower status may be what finally forces mild social democracy into the country.
