Truthology

The study of truth using Sovietology/Kremlinology methods: analyzing how truth claims are produced, authorized, and contested in different social arenas. Truthology treats truth not as a correspondence between propositions and the world, but as an institutional accomplishment—something that is made, maintained, and sometimes unmade. It examines the social practices (cross‑examination, peer review, replication) that stabilize truth, the power relations that authorize truth‑tellers, and the ways that “truth” is used to close down dissent. Truthology does not deny that truth exists; it asks how truth works in practice.

Example: “Her truthology research examined how courtroom truth differs from scientific truth from journalistic truth—each a different social practice with its own rituals, authorities, and standards.”

Doctorate in Truthology 

Someone who spouts complete bullshit, with a wholly undeserved air of authority, can be said to have this.

"What kind of authority does this guy think he has, saying that shit like it's objective fact?"
"Apparently he has some kind of degree..."
"Yeah, Doctorate in Truthology!"

Trumpology

Contrary to the traditional apology or statement of regret for one's actions, the trumpology is where one actually doubles down, steers into the skid, and makes a comment that serves to inflate the original offense.

Trumpology ex #1:
Anderson Cooper: "Mr. Trump, many activists are demanding that you apologize for claiming that you will build a wall along the US-Mexico border if elected president. What do you have to say to them?"
The Donald: "We're gonna build a wall...and Mexico is going to pay for it!"

Trumpology ex #2:
Reporter: "Johnny, now that you've been released from the Browns, are you going to clean up your act?"
Johnny Manziel: "I'm living out in LA with my guy, Von Miller. We might be partying six nights a week but we're trying to get our lives together, bro. I just wanna ball, bro. I don't think there's anything wrong with partying, bro. There's a difference between partying and being out of control."

The cult of Trump. Idiots who believe Trump will save the day and take them to a socialists paradise in a magic bus where jobs are plentiful and idiocy is rewarded.

Joe is into trumpology he believes trump will cure his erectile dysfunction, give him 50 IQ points and fix the roof on his trailer. Jason says "Trump cured my cancer!".
