On the other hand, although I live in Alberta, I care quite a bit about
American politics. If something bad were to happen to the United States,
I might have to start learning Russian.
And so I am aware of another form of "chaos" some news articles
are saying has hit the United States. Because a large segment of
the Republicans in the House of Representatives - but not _all_ of
them, and thus not enough to be a majority in the closely divided
chamber - insists on Trump's choice, Kevin McCarthy, for Speaker,
and no one else... it looks like the House of Representatives is going
to take a long time to *choose* a Speaker, and thus be able to
function with its newly elected membership, with a Republican
majority instead of a Democratic one.
