Although associated with the 2020 presidential election outcome in the U.S., the term "copium", as an allegory for a mental opiate (see also: self deceit) has been around for some time.

Copium (= cope opium) as a word surfaced in latter part of the 2010's after "hopium" (= hope opium) ran out of traction in commonly used online vocabulary.

Copium, much like its predecessor hopium, is a metaphor for something that the person proverbially takes to keep their last shreds of sanity stitched together in a dying world that serves no sense, meaning or purpose.
"If there's no more opium or hopium, you can always try scraping some copium from the bottom of the barrel!"

Similar to trolling, but somewhat different as it's often used by players of online games to bait one another into i.e. a ban from a server by reporting the reaction to moderators, a very common tactic in toxic online gaming communities, specifically in aggressive-type survival and FPS games.

Trap bullying is weaponized rhetoric used especially against those who might be easily provoked (such as those with autism, Asperger's Syndrome etc.)
