There are varying degrees of corrupt and totalitarian.

We're not quite Russia bad yet, but we have however run "quick processing overnight courts" to deal with hundreds of people, thrown people in jail over Twitter jokes, kept people in jail for writing articles critical of the state, used extraordinary rendition like soap, murdered people critical of the government, shot unarmed civilians, started big wars, entertained numerous fascist dictators, operate large concentration camps to keep immigrants in, control media interests through the old boys network, force slavery on unemployed people by making them work for nothing and generally act like unsociable arseholes on the world stage.
