I don't get why the Right is so keen to vilify Sweden. I've lived abroad and travelled and feel I have a fair handle on all the countries I've visited and I'm living abroad now.. In Sweden! Nordic countries are by far the best functioning countries I've ever visited and should serve as positive examples.
I don't think Sweden is on the radar screen of most Americans, regardless of political perspective. The only popular reference to it that I can recall is when Trump mad a snide remark about unrest in Sweden, the left-wing press mocking him for doing so, then the right-wing press doing the happy dance when there were some riots there that supported (or could be spun to support) their narrative.
I'm fairly politically engaged, and my largely uninformed opinion of Sweden - and all of Scandinavia, honestly - is that it's a largely homogenous society with a relatively long history of stable governance. There don't seem to be a lot of analogues to American society there, so I haven't cared to learn more about it.
