it’s like every southern state is in a furious competition to be the worst place on the planet

No matter how much US Republicans and trump mess things up, the USA will still be a better place to live than 90% of the planet, even for the persecuted minorities.
It’s not even a better place to live than 90% of the planet now. How delusional do you have to be to think that the USA is anywhere near the best place to live 
90% is an exaggeration, sure, but it still is true for a large majority of the planet.
No, it’s really not, mate. You need a massive reality check.
I was gonna provide some links or reports, but a quick Google search was pretty overwhelmingly against you, so I’m gonna have to assume you’re just being disingenuous at this point and move on.
Hopefully I'm wrong, but that's what I learned of the world. If I'm being disingenuous it's not intentional.
Search images of "favela", tens of millions of Brazilians live in those, and Brazil is one of the "developing" countries; most countries are poorer.
I’ll be honest, I was in a bit of a mood when I initially responded, so I apologise for the unnecessary hostility. Christmas is a difficult time, so I hope you understand.
I think the problem here is the perspective. There are problems in the world, sure. Many of them much greater than American problems, even at their worst. However if we are talking about general living conditions and quality of life unfortunately the USA falls short on a lot of the fundamentals. Health care, general education standards, overall public safety, etc. The US should be one of the best places to live, and it’s certainly not terrible when compared to third world countries, but when compared to first world countries it doesn’t hold up well at all.
ETA: I live in the UK, so we are really not far ahead of you we have healthcare, but they are actively trying to privatise it. And it feels like general living conditions are declining. Still there is some hope left
