Thanks for the correction! I really should have done a quick google search. From my point of view America is exceptional because their rights are often part of political discourse in a way that I don’t see at home or in my limited exposure to other domestic politics.

I don't think that's even remotely true. Think about "liberté, égalité, fraternité". Every political party in every country invokes civic rights in their discourse because it makes for a great rhetoric. In more autocratic countries human rights might be a much bigger part of political discourse because there are more violations.
