Overwhelming Narcissism and Delusion

Erick Erickson, writing for his Red State blog, about the sad shooting in Charleston and our society's confused responses thereto:
A society that looks at a 65 year old male Olympian and, with a straight face, declares him a her and “a new normal” cannot have a conversation about mental health or evil because that society no longer distinguishes normal from crazy and evil from good. Our American society has a mental illness — overwhelming narcissism and delusion — and so cannot recognize what crazy or evil looks like.
