Showing little gratitude or appreciation for the benefits, rather feeling entitled and complaining for yet more. Just don't want to be the one to suffer any inconveniences.

Well sure...we know all about what Americans are like...
We want everything we want
We want it right now
We want somebody else to pay for it
It goes for everything, most prominently, it goes for healthcare. We want it, but we don't want to pay for it. We want the boss to pay for it, and for most ignorant entitled Americans if we want universal Medicare for everybody, we don't want our income tax bill to increase to get it. Of course Americans are pretty fucking stupid about this...you can show them eight ways from Sunday how we are paying twice as much as we could for our healthcare than we have to. All we have to do is pay for it through income tax and the government will take care of it. But we're stupid motherfuckers for whom nothing fucking matters but our income tax bill. We're too stupid to realize that we would have more income if the boss didn't have to pay for our health insurance...and that it would be more money in our paycheck than the increase in our tax bill.
But we are the dumbest poor bastards of all the first world countries, so half of us vote for Republicans and the other half of us diddle shit around deciding that in this current cultural war, our only choice is to vote for the Democrat for every political office, and if we are unhappy that the candidate doesn't sound like AOC, we just need to shut the fuck up and for for that candidate anyway.
Jesus fucking christ on a pogo stick.
