Tbh this echo chamber argument is probably the biggest nonsense I've heard. I'm sure it's a thing but it's pretty minimal and it's being touted as an explanation for anything that's happened in the past two years.

Echo-chambers cement views. It's how religions work IMO. Massive argumentum ad populum because of the echo-chamber, making it difficult for feeble minds to take any conclusion that differs from the accepted viewpoint in the echo-chamber.

Like peer pressure? That's a very similar concept, main difference being this one is more perverse

Stikes me more as liberal elitism blaming stupid people for not voting with them.

That's the more interesting question really. If there are people out there who only watch MSNBC news (which is basically anti-Trump propaganda) and others who only watch Fox News (which is basically right wing propaganda), they would certainly be getting two different views of the same world.
