Narcissists

 Politico: Opinion - 2022 Is the Year We All Finally Got Tired of Narcissists - Narcissists had their moment in the sun. But in 2022, some of them got their comeuppance and some of them got worse: our disinterest. By Joanna Weiss

It’s hard to count any narcissist out; it’s not in their nature to give up the stage, even in exile, sometimes from jail. When they want attention, they get creative.

It’s the public that has to decide whether to bite.

The title is a bit of click bait and confirmation bias written into the article.
I don't begrudge her for it. If she says it, maybe it will be so. I want it to be so.

But by the end she admits "...there are signs, at least, that our patience is fading..."

Hopefully in a year or two she can say she was first on the block to predict 2022 as the fall of narcissists.

It's an opinion piece, I read it with a grain of salt. It probably has some truth to it, and some that is not so true. Since Trump we've studied narcissism more carefully, we're more aware of what it looks and sounds like. It certainly seems like Trump has had a set back or two, Musk is on his heals a bit, Kari Lake is quite out of her mind.

An opinion, they're like a**holes. Everybody has one :0

Thoughtful, informed opinions written with an objective eye are the most desirable IMO.
Wishful thinking, confirmation bias and click bait couched in opinion is the bane of journalism. IMO.
But in this case, I applaud this piece because I am shallow and want it to be so. :|
