this administration

Based on the other comment you mean the US government? Do you just assume everyone on the internet is American?

Although I kind of agree with you, I feel like everyone knows when someone refers to this administration as being US in relation to extremely dumb shit at this point

It's super annoying when the default country on Lemmy is the USA.

The default country for anything stupid, yes

There isn't even the "this is a US website" excuse anymore, like on Reddit

Do you know a dumber one?

Genuine question, do other countries refer to their current government as "this administration" or "the [leader] administration"?

In my exposure to non-US political discussions, there seems to be more reference to the majority parties or coalitions, where that's more important to politics than it is in the US with our far-too-powerful executive branch
