Alan: First, I'm supplying a link to shed light on your statement that "in other countries you'd go to jail or be put to death (for political dissent) but that's what sets us uniquely apart from dictatorships"
"Nine Notorious Dictators, Nine Shout-Outs From Donald Trump" https://paxonbothhouses.blogspot.com/2019/05/nine-notorious-dictators-nine-shout.html
What stunted, crippling, narrow-minded news sources hold you so captive that you don't even know what's going on in the world?
How can you not know that Trump is a big fan of dictators, and - more generally speaking - autocratic government?
Trump is NOT an advocate of American democracy as we've traditionally known it.
At heart, "The Deplorable One" is an autocrat with a soft spot for dicators all over the world.
True to form, "Deranged Donald" is also a bitter critic of Canada which he calls a "national security threat."
Canada? A national security threat?!?
Notably, Trump never has a harsh word for Putin, Duterte, the Saudi Crown Prince and the rest of The Dictatorial Swamp.
Trump reserves virtually all his political vitriol for America's traditional allies, while calling NFL protestors "sons of bitches."
At the same time he identifies "good people" on both sides of the Charlottesville carnage, where a peaceful protestor was killed in a political climate inflamed by slogan-shouting anti-Semites. https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/08/nazis-racism-charlottesville/536928/
Trump is also a bitter critic of the European Union which anyone with a single functioning synapse knows is home to the largest number of stable democracies in the world.
Why do you conveniently overlook the entire European Union in your headlong rush to make favorable comparison between the "uniquely set apart" United States and death-dealing dictatorships like the Phillipines where Trump's murderous pal Duterte kills citizens at will.

Then there's this: "The death penalty has been completely abolished in all European countries except for Belarus and Russia, the latter of which has a moratorium and has not conducted an execution since 1999."
Of course, it is routine for "Christian" "conservatives" to applaud the death-penalty so this killing of American citizens by the American government will warm the hearts of "Christian" "cruelists."

Then there's this: "The death penalty has been completely abolished in all European countries except for Belarus and Russia, the latter of which has a moratorium and has not conducted an execution since 1999."
Of course, it is commonplace among "Christian" "conservatives" to applaud the death-penalty so this will warm the hearts of "Christian" "cruelists."
It is a fact - plain as potatoes - that the United States puts its own citizens to death. How can you argue otherwise and make that argument in order to praise the United States as an "exceptionally" humane, blessed place?!?
When it comes to killing our own citizens we don't even rise to the standard of thug-dictator-kleptocrat Vladimir Putin.
