I believe the other "developed countries" had more homogeneous populations when their social programs were established; more like extended families that tended to care about the well-being of their "kin." U.S. "melting pot" diversity, on the other hand, has made it easy for the GOP to "divide and conquer" rather than trying to serve them all as equals.

Multiparty systems probably also tend to be more responsive to the electorate as they have to have a platform and stand for something to win votes -- something more than "we ain't got no platform but we ain't them damn other guys so vote for us!" No wonder they want to get rid of voters.

Let's see now...what was their dear leader Trump's theme song? Oh yeah:
Money money money money...money money money money.
