The US regime is an extremely violent group, so I that's certainly the issue.

Right. But when when a group blows up hospitals, schools and other infrastructure and murders 70,000 civilians (Israel)... Why is that not disignated terrorism?
Because it's the kind of terrorism the king^H^H^H^Hpresident agrees with, and he makes the rules.
Because you made that up. Hamas (and a few Palestinian civilians who decided to join in the fun) started a war by running round murdering and raping Israeli citizens. Hamas also recruits child soldiers. Hamas also openly and quite preferably launches attacks from schools and hospitals. Hamas openly and continually attacks Israeli citizens with rockets.
You're not suggesting that most, if not all of these, are things the US hasn't done, are you? Surely not. The one you might try and dispute is the "50,000 protestors" one, as you know the other ones are clear as day.

I notice people always respond with "but the US does this too!" and never actual incidents. No, I'm not going to just high five your vague head nod at wrong doing you can't even describe.
Seriously, sit down, make a list of incidents, including weighing the outcome of those incidents. If it's a case where an officer or a soldier did something wrong, list what happened after (court, punishment, cleared of wrongdoing, etc)
Then do the same for your favorite alternate country that you think is superior. If you want to pick team Iran or Russia, then lay it out for them. Make the same list.
