Getting visibly enraged when someone from Nebraska doesn't immediately understand exactly what "Harper prorogued Parliament to prevent the Grits and Dippers from forming a coalition between the 40th and 41st general elections" means,
but wife city is two words

in reply to @kda's post:
Lots of folks in the US have this weird mindset where, like, they actually don't know that much about politics and civics and how the government works and all that, BUT they also expect everyone around the world to know the same things they do know
Absolutely, yeah.
Honestly, the next time anyone randos into my notifications about US politics stuff, I think I'll play totally ignorant.
House of what? Sure, you've got a President, but don't you have a Prime Minister who's in charge of day-to-day governance? How do your Senators get appointed? Why do you need a "Republican Party" in a republic? Are your general elections FPTP, MMP, or STV?
Since you rebugged this I figure I'll throw in a fun tangent related to the House of What part.
To make US civics more confusing: each chamber of our national legislature can be called a house (I prefer "chamber" to avoid this whole problem). The lower chamber is the House of Representatives, aka the House. The upper chamber is the Senate.
Thus, the House is a house, and the Senate is a house, but the Senate is not the House.
