deja coup 

Deja Coup — the surreal realization that two years to the day after the attempted American Insurrection, the same congressmen who were instrumental in the attack on our democracy successfully made a bid for legitimate power on key congressional committees.

And on January 8th 2023 — two years and two days after the American Inssurection — history rhymed when followers of Jair Bolsonaro followed the same game plan in Brazil attacking their Capitol building as Bolsonaro looked on in safety from Florida eating chicken fajitas. He was later hospitalized for plausible deniability — the political equivalent of a mobster being at a wedding when a major “hit” takes place.

This is the psychological equivalent of a Vietnam era combat veteran being taken deep into a swamp to watch a fireworks display.

Some attribute the world wide rise of a militant and violent right to Steve Bannon; but, others say that he is just a highly mobile pimple on the ass of “this is how it’s always been.”

If you were a writer and submitted this as a plot for a novel; your editor would call you a hack and tell you that your writing was heavy handed.

This is the kind of world we’ve made!
Sung to the theme of the Dione Warwick song: Deja Vu

“Deja Coup could this be a nightmare I once knew
Is it true?
Deja coup could this be a nightmare coming true
Are we screwed?
A two year festering coup
The alt-right pestering you
Deja Coup”

Déjà vu 

To experience Déjà vu, as I was once told by a video game playing friend, is when you have died in real life and gone back to a previous 'Checkpoint'. Déjà vu just means that you can remember something from a life lost.
Me: Whoa, weirdest feeling of Déjà vu

Nathan: Whatever you think you should do, don't do it. It didn't work last time

Me: What the fuck are you on about?

Nathan: Mate, you lost a life just be careful, you don't know how many you have left

Musical Deja Vu 

When you have a strong feeling that you have heard a familiar song before and you associate it with a time or an emotion, but you aren't exactly sure when or where you have heard the song. This usually occurs most strongly at the beginning of the song, but can last the entire duration as well.
When the otherwise seemingly happy song came on, Paul felt nostalgic and a bit depressed, although he wasn't sure why. He was experiencing musical deja vu.

I hate it when I get musical deja vu because I can't remember where I heard the song before.

A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
