Yes that happened to me the other day. It was related to some Invidious fsckery they were also pulling, but I didn’t see any update or steps to resolve on ublock.

Thinking “Cognitive dissonance doesn’t exist”, is one way to experience cognitive dissonance.
This is the difference, I think. So many non-American people don’t understand the particular way our political things are screwy, and when they make blanket pronouncements about it, it’s sort of a different conversation than when an American does.
Several times I’ve discovered the person I’m arguing with isn’t an idiot or a right-wing nutjob, they just don’t know the peculiarities of American politics, because they’re not American. Like how unlimited money is allowed to pour into campaigns and are essentially bribes. Or the revolving-door lobbying that happens. Stuff like that.
Idiots and right-wing nutjobs abound here so it’s always a little disconcerting to have to say, “Oh. Oh, sorry, I thought you were a voter and that’s why I cared so much that you had all the information. No, if you’re not American, we can just agree [whatever the thing is] is [stupid] and leave it at that”

It’d be an interesting investigation, though.
They call it mellow yellow.
(Quite rightly)
Sounds reasonable. Now about this “family” designation . . .
The short version is that the Constitution says the President is the one who gets the most votes. The Electoral college says there are only 548 votes, and they are mostly all awarded by each of the states to one victor (first-past-the-post).
The practical result is that if a person-or-party can only win 36% of the vote in a state, they get 0 electoral votes. Because of *that*, a two-party system has more or less been the norm.
If he declares it an official act, then it’s not illegal. Drone strikes are pretty official.
