As "savvy" about the world as he likes to pretend he is, he still only really associates with those of his own mindset, and everyone else is on the periphery of his experience.

It's really easy to be a conservative. You just have to squint your eyes almost shut so you can't see anything further away than your nose and only pay attention to your immediate needs.
