It's always "if you don't like it, go live in Somalia" and never "if you don't like it, go live in Denmark". It's saying "it could be worse" instead of "it could be better".

Pretty much. "Could be worse" is for when you're recovering from the flu, not the "There is 1.2 million people in prison right now".

Well the Somalia people actually want a Somalia style government and are free to go there. The Denmark people want a Danish style government but can't go there.
