Coping is good actually and healthy coping is a sign of a mentally well person. It's literally apart of natural human shit when we're confronted with loss or tragedy and how our brains work around it. The USA is literally a prime example of unhealthy coping skills in the face of a pandemic, instead of protecting people and letting those who've lost loved ones grieve, we've gaslight an entire population and told them to get back to work. It's no fucking wonder more than half this country is addicted to opioids.
As sick as it is, yeah, that's what they want you to do. Black pilled incels think the healthy response to this society is to go lone wolf and do spree shootings, they egg each other on hoping someone snaps. It's sick as fuck and nuclear waste dump levels of toxic. Instead of doing the right thing and coming to the correct conclusion about western beauty standards and alienation under neoliberal capitalism and building solidarity, they just fight each other and have a bleak outlook on life and humanity, where the end result is snapping.
I don't think I've personally seen "cope" used in contexts like these, but I'm sure fascists are warping language like they usually do and I just don't keep up with them. When I see it people usually seem to mean "you are in denial about problem X and are making up fantasies to avoid confronting it", not "you are aware of problem X and don't want to think about it literally 24/7 so you do something to cheer yourself up instead". I would say antivaxxers are definitely coping, as are libs who say that covid is over now.
