Events in the UK, specifically tightening protest restrictions after Lizzy died and JK Rowling silencing critics through legal threats (just so you know, Trump wanted the US's libel laws to be more like the UK's but it nefer,) solidified my opinion that the first amendment is a net good.
I would maybe put Israel below the US based on what I know but that's about the only thing I genuinely think the US does best on a governmental level.
