I shared this earlier just about Trump, but from the responses it's gotten, I'm beginning to think newspapers should run this piece every December, like the "Yes, Virginia..." letter, but for adults who dread going home for the holidays. (And they should pay royalties to @merrillmarkoe.bsky.social.)
I've said it before, but the key text I keep returning to for understanding this era is Merrill Markoe's essay on narcissism, because that post today is a textbook example of what she calls The Narcissist's Credo: "I'm the piece of shit the world revolves around."
