I can think of a large number of countries which have (best I can see) less political dissent than the US. North Korea would be an example. Burma. Cuba. China. Singapore.
Speaking purely for myself... a lack of internal dissent does not seem a good thing.

There's a huge difference between dissent and divisiveness. We have great divisiveness where both parties are so power hungry and so sure they are right they are hurting the country more than helping.
Dissent in America, hopefully will always survive but the hatred between parties and divisive nature has to end, for this country or any other country to respect us again.
