You're arguing with people who don't understand the word Parliament in the term "Parliamentary Democracy". Just nod, tut, and move on, it will be better for your mental health.

Funnily enough I am OK about this stuff, these days.

It would be absurd to pretend that we don't have problems; we obviously have problems. And things are extremely bad right now, especially with our former transatlantic friends actively agitating the situation.

But internationally it has got a lot easier to see our problems with clarity in the last year and a half, and a lot easier to argue that every significant country has its difficulties.

They keep saying Trump has been impeached twice but he's still around. Does impeach mean something else in American English?

I don't understand why he's labelled as "impeached" when the final outcome was acquitted.
