It fed off exhaustion. Frustration. Longing for change. The hunger for dramatic endings in a world that feels stuck.
For a brief moment, millions thought history had turned a corner.
That emotional crash—from “everything is changing” to “oh, for God’s sake”—was brutal.
And funny.
And depressing.
And revealing.
Because this wasn’t just about one headline. It was about how easily mass emotion can be manipulated by a few missing letters and a strategically placed ellipsis. It was about how digital media no longer informs—it provokes. It doesn’t clarify—it destabilizes. It doesn’t report—it tempts.
We don’t read news anymore.
We experience bait.
The internet has become a psychological casino. Bright lights, flashing words, emotional jackpots, constant stimulation. Every headline is designed to trigger instinct, not thought. Fear. Hope. Rage. Curiosity. Shock.
Click first. Think later.
In the end, nothing changed politically.
No power shifted.
No system collapsed.
No regime fell.
No chapter closed.
