Dunning-Kruger Effect

Click here for the Wikipedia entry for the Dunning-Kruger Effect. Here's an excerpt from the first paragraph:

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which low-ability individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly assessing their ability as much higher than it really is. Dunning and Kruger attributed this bias to a metacognitive inability of those of low ability to recognize their ineptitude and evaluate their ability accurately.

How does this relate to the political situation in the United States today? Well ... draw your own conclusions.
