What is hard is getting people to admit they're wrong. It's so very easy to see that there's rotten stuff in US society, but nobody wants to face it, that's it. The data is clear, european social democracies are better socially developed than the US is(and I don't mean it like I think have it all figured out and they're awesome, just that they've been able to do some sensible stuff, shit that should be just common sense not the saint graal for fucks sake), they have absurdly lower crime and misery rates, are better educated, this is a fact. IMHO it's not the matter of being "easy/hard", it's the matter of "political will", if there were will, it would be easy, since there is not, it becomes "impossible".
