I‘m sorry but saying that the US cares about human rights is simply not credible. They literally have a bomb-The-Hague act in case one of their many war criminals ever faces justice.
Or explain to me why the US are allies with Saudi Arabia, but Iran is their biggest enemy. In what world is Saudi Arabia a country that cares about human rights, democracy or equality.
All actions by the US show that they only care about power and that human rights and democracy are pure rhetoric to be used when convenient.
I would prefer to be under US hegemony than under Russian or Chinese hegemony (for the time being) but mostly because the US is richer.
But morally speaking the only difference is scale:
