Grok

 I grok you grok etc....
In theory. it means to understand something thoroughly.
In practice, (I think) it'll be a propaganda machine, but no one has said that, and I'm only guessing.

I would have to "Grok" the book "1984" to be able to make cogent wry comments, and I barely remember it.
People heavily into propaganda sling a lot of adjectives around, and it's prolly a style of writing that has a name.
But in the most general of terms, a person makes quick fact filled statements as if they were absolutely true, and draws a vituperative conclusion.
"The evil traitor John Dolly has perpetrated many crimes against the state, and must be stopped, for the safety of people everywhere" is a really bad example, and is the reason you don't see me drawing quotes from "1984" and comparing them to "Grok," "X" and "XaI" all owned by the fascist Musk and his megalomaniacal boss.

?

It's prolly (prolly) going on a long list of old-guy-pariah things I won't trust:

Trump Vaccines
Trump Eggs
Trump Schools
Trump imperialist motives ("world peace")

(beeeeeecause, what's the worst that could happen?? A loyalist scientist or pharmacist adulterates vaccines. He doesn't vaccinate birds anymore, eliminates large swaths of education, takes over countries because of world peacefulness and manifest destiny)
