False Consensus Bias

[4est_4est_Gump]

...

What is emerging is the worst kind of echo chamber, one where those inside are increasingly convinced that everyone shares their world view, that their ranks are growing when they aren’t. It’s like clockwork: an event happens and then your social media circle is shocked when a non-social media peer group public reacts to news in an unexpected way. They then mock the Other Side for being “out of touch” or “dumb.”

...

Sharing links that mock a caricature of the Other Side isn’t signaling that we’re somehow more informed. It signals that we’d rather be smug assholes than consider alternative views. It signals that we’d much rather show our friends that we’re like them, than try to understand those who are not.

Oh the irony.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel...

Tell us again how all the polls were bollocks and Romney was going to win in a landslide. I never get tired of hearing that one. Maybe with some links to Breitbart, American Thinker and Fox?

I don't think everyone on the "Other Side" is stupid, but many of them are uninformed, immature, and woefully naive. We see it here every day.

If only they got their news from The Onion, they'd be as informed as you!

I think that they are more than eager to prove the main points of the analysis...

Miles and AJ, then Ishtard, are going to post any minute about how everyone not in the RWCJ is on iggy.

Posting a lot during the day these days, Miles. I assume the wife's at work?

I thought burp came before puke...

You know that whole rubber and glue thing you did on the playground doesn't really work. Not with your echo chamber, nor your racism.

My personal favorite was when the economy was rebounding strongly back about 2010, and Mr. Not-Republican was desperate for something...ANYTHING... he could blame President Obama for.

That was the year that cyclones in the Indian Sea wrecked a lot of cinnamon plantations in Sri Lanka, so of course he blamed Obama for the skyrocketin' price of cinnamon.

Bingo. His "quote" perfectly describes himself and miles perfectly.

Just because your welfare check and food stamps went up doesn't mean the actual economy was rebounding.

You guys never fail to amuse me.

I note how the economy has improved and you always want to claim that I'm on welfare and/or food stamps.

Because reasons.

Tell us once again how you believe the economy is in turrible shape, Chief.

We could use a good laugh.

Did teh price of cinnamon ever come down? I know it weighed heavily on your mind for teh longest time.
