In 25-Country Survey, Americans Especially Likely To View Fellow Citizens as Morally Bad | Pew Research Center Across 25 countries, Americans are the most likely to see the morality and ethics of people in their country as somewhat or very bad.

Interesting research from @pewresearch.org

In the UK 82% of adults say their fellow citizens are morally good

In the US it’s only 47%

Canada wins at 92% !
