"Drumpf is a fat mean Republican stereotype, fat mean Republican stereotypes act like this, therefore I know Drumpf will act like this. How am I not winning?". That kind of epistemic closure?
"I'm always right because everybody I talk to agrees with me all the time, and everything I ever read only ever confirms my worldview thanks to Social Media using algorithms to only show me things I agree with and me blocking everyone who disagrees with me from ever being able to speak to me."

I know this is a perfectly reasonable point of view to have because everyone around me thinks the same way and says the same kind of shit all the time. The fact that people could find this horrifically out of touch or downright monstrous if I say it on my nationally syndicated TV show is absurd, only fascist-nazis disagree with me, after all."
