NOTE: like most my writing and organization these days, pretty low-quality work. I'm so burned out / brain damaged by the never-ending Trumpism behaviors of USA population. Neil Postman nightmare I'm living in.

I may rework the whole page, maybe someone else rewrite it. But I'm being up front that I find no joy or pleasure documenting the mass psychosis of a population I wish would choose to exit and "Wake The Fuck Up" to Peter Pomerantsev writings of year 2014.

"In a competitive authoritarian system, a leader comes to power democratically and then erodes the system of checks and balances. Typically, the executive fills the civil service and key appointments — including the prosecutor's office and judiciary — with loyalists. He or she then attacks the media, universities and nongovernmental organizations to blunt public criticism and tilt the electoral playing field in the ruling party's favor." - https://www.npr.org/2025/04/22/nx-s1-5340753/trump-democracy-authoritarianism-competive-survey-political-scientist

Front-page Reddit Posting in "Clever Comebacks". May 15, 2025

Simulacra of being clever against Donald Trump.

Conditioned simulacra number 1. Fixated on tree of Donald Trump, not forest. Sees the forest pattern of cycle repeating across time, but not the forest pattern of whole population (Reddit audience) reacting to every move and shake of Donald Trump / fetish / status symbol.
Conditioned simulacra number 2. That being "clever" and more smart than Donald Trump's Twitter shit-talk isn't taking the bait of Surkov governing / Surkovian simulacra. Hook, Line, and Sinker. This has been going on for over a decade.

"Gaslight. Lie. Repeat" also implies that Donald Trump is self-aware of his own simulacra behavior. Kremlin information warfare manipulated. Which he does not demonstrate self-awareness. By extension, the person declaring themselves "on to Trump's scheme of Gaslight. Lie. Repeat" has to show self-awareness of Peter Pomerantsev / information warfare / enemy not defended against / loss to Russia / call to arms.

"The Joke is On"

The Joke is on US. The Joke is US. The Joke of the world is the USA.

We had 4 years under Joe Biden to teach cult deprogramming. Instead, we shared more kitten images (which is not a real kitten, but an image) and mocked MAGA instead of rescuing MAGA from message cults. Anti-MAGA is now a cult too in 2024 and year 2025!

It started with the Putin Media Invasion in March 2013 of the World Wide Web information systems / social machine systems. 5,000 cult patterns were deployed of anti-reality.

The "Donald Trump 1D checkers joke" is that Vlad Putin and Vlad Surkov were playing 32D Chess, and people mocking Donald Trump checkers was the joke. Now we are DFW's nightmare realized on the world stage. All the world being that WWW stage. Die By Absurd Surreal Comedy, We The People Were Warned
