    There are definitely countries who have done a better job, but remember that the right-wing is always authoritarian and is constantly trying to throw a wrench in democracy. Some countries are able to patch those holes fast, but when the country is very large, in the case of the USA, there are tiny holes popping up all over the place. Eventually it starts to sink and we can’t even tell how.
