Uh, hate to break it to you, but the United States IS a liberal democracy.
Wrong. It is a constitutional representative republic.

Liberal democracy - Wikipedia

I expected someone to mention this earlier but I suspect they feared they wouldnt be able to explain:Yeah, when I read the OP, Poland immediately came to my mind as well.
Liberal democracies have dozens of successful examples. But I am interested in what nations implement the right wing dream of government that Trump's policies desire to implement. Where in the world can we look for successful implementation of right wing principles of government? Surely someone must have examples of these policies working.
Just for thought starters I pulled the rankings of key metrics of success for countries. Surprisingly they are replete with liberal democracies with high taxes, strong welfare states, and high social trust..
Please keep the flame wars to a minimum. Just looking for a discussion on where the right wing is killing it in success world wide.
Happiest Countries in the World: Switzerland, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Canada, Finland
Healthiest Countries in the World: Spain, Italy, Iceland, Japan, Switzerland, Finland, Norway
Richest Countries in the World: Ireland, Norway, Switzerland, US, some small countries
Most Educated Countries in the World: Japan, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Canada
Most Free Countries in the World: Switzerland, New Zealand, Denmark, Ireland, Finland, Australia, Sweden, Iceland.
Most Opportunity Countries in the World: Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany
By “right-wing dream” I assume we mean:
- Low taxes / small welfare state
- Strong nationalism
- Strict immigration control
- Weak labor protections
- Strong executive power
- Minimal regulation
- Market fundamentalism
- Traditionalist social policy
GO!

But the diversity level constrains the type of government you can have. Governments styles that are more ubiquitous and pervasive (like socialism and fascism), requite greater conformity. One of the factors that kept the US more free than other countries is that such conformity wasn't an option. The melting pot basically requires freedom. If any one group takes the reigns and tries to lord it over the others, everything falls apart.There are lots of examples of non-diverse cultures sucking ass as well. You are cherry picking. Its not the diversity level, its the governing model and natural resources that drive success.
Thankfully, no one is advocating communism. Looks like there are a ton of liberal democracies with high taxes, strong welfare states, and high social trust which is the left model. I dont see the examples of right wing models flooding in. You got some?ZERO Communist countries on the richest list.

Bullshit. Your Cult is.Thankfully, no one is advocating communism.
There are a lot of white shit hole countries. Lets leave racism out. Russia is as white as it comes and it is a shithole.That's a lot of WHITE countries! seems you're saying countries run by white people are more successful.
If you cant argue the facts and have to lie you've lost. You've shown zero examples of the maga/right wing model working. None. Why are you on here advocating for something that has zero proven winners?Bullshit. Your Cult is.
WTF is a "non-diverse culture"? Hey, it was your OP that showed that homogenous white countries were the happiest.There are lots of examples of non-diverse cultures sucking ass as well. You are cherry picking. Its not the diversity level, its the governing model and natural resources that drive success. There are not right wing success stories that you guys have posted. Why are you on here daily trying to push for a system of government that has zero examples of success?
You are deflecting because you cant answer the question. What is the successful model of right wing governing in the world that we can point to as a model? I have yet to see one. There are plenty of all white shitholes.WTF is a "non-diverse culture"? Hey, it was your OP that showed that homogenous white countries were the happiest.
See: The USA.If you cant argue the facts and have to lie you've lost. You've shown zero examples of the maga/right wing model working. None. Why are you on here advocating for something that has zero proven winners?
Yeah, LBJ and his Great Society was a giant leap backwards.The United States before the Progressive Era.
But then . . . well, progressivism.
You have failed miserably to show where MAGA isn't working, Dumbass.If you cant argue the facts and have to lie you've lost. You've shown zero examples of the maga/right wing model working. None. Why are you on here advocating for something that has zero proven winners?

Seems that there are no successful implementations of conservatives or maga-like policies - Unless i am missing something. Let me know where the right wing/conservative/maga north star is for an example of good government that is successful. My guess is you pulled a "oh shit, he's right" and ran away.
2025: Same list of countries.
