Indeed. I think the precise turning point was the presidential debate, which was where it became so obvious that they couldn't lie to the face of normies about Biden's competency anymore. Sure, I know they aren't stupid enough to suddenly believe the earth is flat because CNN said so, but it had to take a screw-up this bad to flounder any trust that voting for biden was a good idea.
I'm not a native speaker but is this a Mandela effect where the word "competence" doesn't exist anymore? Same for "relevancy", the -y sounds like some weird zoomer slang to me. I'm waiting for "performancy" to show up next.
the -ancy endings are actually a fair bit older. I think it's a load of HR and legalspeak rather than zoomers though that have brought back 'dependency', 'relevancy' and 'competency'
I don't know. I know that the word has been used before in legal jargon, as in "Not restorable to competency" before, probably for a long time. I do think the word "competence" is still a thing, at least.

I guarantee CNN/etc could get at least 30% of the NPCs to believe this shit given a month of coordinated gaslighting.

According to Wikipedia, it's HR speak. Apparently "competence" is "what the job required" and "competency" is "what skills you have"
It's all made up so they can pretend to have come up with a new and exciting concept to trick companies into buying their bullshit.
