Around half of your population don't seem to want that at all as long as 'their guy' is in power.

The US has many problems, but there's a big difference between people being unhappy with you and being send into "reeducation camps" if the government doesn't like what you say.

There's also a major difference between being sent to reeducation camps and being killed by a drone strike. The US may tolerate dissent inside their borders better, but far worse overall.

Not sure re-education camp is a step up from drone strike. Depends on your priorities I suppose.

If you prefer death to a reeducation camp, that choice is likely available to you. The dead have no choice.
