Destroying the political enemy has always been more important that anything else. Straight jailing "communists", jailing opposing minorities (crafting legal frameworks to do it or straight asking the army is to me the same), cutting funds from whole industries to help one's base and crush the other parties funds, taking money from enemy states to win domestic elections etc.
It's a matter of what you get flack for and what flies below the radar.
Developing countries have more visible incidents because their economy is more fragile and any political swing will have huge life and death ramifications. In contrast the US can afford waging trade wars without floods of people out in the streets.
