| Jul 12, 2016 at 14:52 | comment | added | user184993 | @NoMoreSecrets, I'm looking specifically for a word/phrase that carries an implication of stupidity and/or ill will. | |
| Jul 12, 2016 at 14:48 | comment | added | No More Secrets | Why is "dismiss out of hand" not appropriate? I found it on Word for dismissing someone's opinions as racist, sexist, etc, instead of debating back, and it seems as if it's exactly what you're looking for. Or just the adjective "dismissive"? | |
| Jul 12, 2016 at 14:46 | comment | added | user184993 | @Silenus, I think dogmatic is the closest but it doesn't carry the implication that people who disagree do so because of maliciousness and/or wilful ignorance. | |
| Jul 12, 2016 at 14:39 | comment | added | user184993 | Sorry, I removed the "word choice" tag. For an example: if I said I voted for brexit and then was accused of bigotry or stupidity I would say "you're being ____" because their attitude would be implying that there is only one correct way to vote. | |

| Jul 12, 2016 at 14:35 | comment | added | Tonepoet | Can you give us an example of a sentence where you might use this word in the body of your question? I ask because it's a requisite for the single word request tag. I would also suggest editing out the "word choice" tag because if you click into it, you'll see that it's meant to be reserved for picking from a known selection of words, which this question does not provide. | |
| Jul 12, 2016 at 14:31 | comment | added | user184993 | Not quite. I would say that Trumpesque could be used as a synonym for disingenuous but what I'm looking for would be a person who accuses people with opposing opinions of being Trumpesque. The person would be behaving as though he has found the final and absolute truth and anyone disagreeing is obviously wrong, immoral and stupid. | |

| Jul 12, 2016 at 14:21 | comment | added | Max Williams | Feels kinda obvious but Trumpesque? | |
