You're right that there's a narcissistic complex happening, but to me more worrying is that so many people value their own opinions more than they value basic decency.
It's not even just a lack of empathy or narcissism (even though both are pretty obvious to anyone who isn't too busy gooning to the thought of his mushroom). When I said "God Complex," I meant that in about as literal a sense as is possible. He's saying Rob Reiner died as a direct result of his criticism of Trump. So Rob Reiner got smote down. This is the mentality of an ancient God. It translated in my mind as "Say that you believe you are literally a god without saying you believe you are literally a god."
So we aren't in complete agreement. Don't trip. My opinion is in fact my opinion. I understood what you meant. I just don't agree with all of it.
