Look, w are not one people anymore. I don't feel like the blue people have anything to do with me. They are as foreign as Europeans to me. I'm sure I'm the same to them.

They don't seem to be suffering the problems we are in thye U.S.. They already have their healthcare system fixed. It was a cross between socialism and capitalism. Seems to work fine and has pretty much universal support here. They have a booming economy. Home values never took the hit. In fact they have 12% growth in home values last year. No funny accounting. Better education system.

So when you say superior what is superior about the U.S. today besides our military?

BTW. Being a republican has zero to do with being conservative. How many years after the death of the last real conservative in the party do those on the right get to claim that title? The right hasn't been conmservative in decades. So stop confusing yourselves and trying to confuse the world that your party is something they aren't. We all know better.
